To celebrate National Child Day (November 20th) UNICEF Canada is hosting the sixth annual Youth Advocacy Summit in Ottawa in partnership with BGC Canada, Equitas, Jack.org, the National Reconciliation Program at Save the Children Canada, Plan Canada, the Students Commission of Canada and YMCA Canada. The Honourable Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development; the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development; Bob Rae, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations in New York; and Rosemary Barton, CBC’s Chief Political Correspondent will also be joining the event from 12:30 to 1:30 pm EST.
On behalf of youth advocates who have co-developed the program, UNICEF Canada invites you to hear directly from young people about their ideas and recommendations on Education, Healthcare, Mental Health and Racism and Discrimination. Youth advocates will also launch the 2024 Reimagine Playbook and discuss ideas around how the megatrends of climate crisis, disruptive technologies and demographic change will impact their futures.
