The UN declared 1979 the International Year of the Child and asked nations to examine the situation of their country\u2019s children. The year focused on providing a framework for advocacy and enhancing awareness of the needs of children for decision-makers and the public, as well as to recognize that programs for children should be an integral part of economic development plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian Commission fulfilled this mandate by providing more than $1 million in small grants to groups throughout the country and developing a national agenda for action to frame future efforts for children in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will examine what has been done to promote the rights and well-being of generations of children born since 1979. It will include a networking fair of child and youth agencies of the national capital region. A reception will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
