November 20, 2023, marks the 30th anniversary of National Child Day in Canada – it’s a day to honor Canada’s commitment to upholding the rights of children and two historic events: the 1959 signing of the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. Globally, the day is known as World Children’s Day. This year, National Child Day promises to be the biggest event in history!
The Sandbox Project will join two partners to celebrate the day.
UNICEF Canada
