Join us on National Child Day for a special virtual event on November 20th, 2024, as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child!
This year’s theme, #8MillionEmpowered, highlights our collective goal to empower all 8 million kids in Canada by defending their rights and ensuring they have the support to thrive. Children and youth are not merely future dreamers, but present-day innovators, leaders and changemakers. They are setting the stage for a brighter, more inclusive Canada with compassion, courage and conviction. Empowered young people can make a difference now, not just someday.
National Child Day is a time to honour Canada’s commitment to children’s rights, as part of the global World Children’s Day movement. Last year, nearly 40,000 students and 250+ schools participated, making it the largest youth event in Canadian history!
Sign up your classroom, school, or organization to join this year’s event, explore our Activity Guide for fun ways to get ready, and join our fundraising challenge to win great prizes.
Let’s make history again and empower the next generation together!
