Every year, we celebrate National Child Day to recognize the rights of every child and young person. These rights are outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
This year, we’re focusing on what it means for every young person to have a safe place to belong, whether that’s at home, at school or in their community.

Every child and young person deserves to feel safe and welcome. This includes having people they can trust, feeling accepted for who they are and knowing they can ask for support when they need it.
When children and young people feel included, respected and connected, they are more likely to feel that they belong.
When we teach young people about their rights, we foster belonging, confidence, and empathy. This National Child Day, invite young people to help shape the activities and spaces intended for them.
How does our space help children and young people feel safe and that they belong?
Start by asking young people. Listen to how they experience the spaces adults create, and work with them to make those spaces safer and more welcoming.
National Child Day is one week away on November 20!
We invite schools, families and community groups across Alberta to wear blue, celebrate children’s rights and start conversations about what helps young people feel safe and supported.
Find activities and resources at nationalchildday.ca/resources.
Happy National Child Day!
Today we celebrate children’s rights and recognize that every young person deserves a safe place to belong, whether that’s at home, at school or in their community.
