It’s time to prioritize children

Dear Prime Minister and fellow Parliamentarians,

On behalf of all 8 million kids in Canada, we’re asking you to put children at the heart of your pandemic recovery plans and the new mandate of your government.

Kids continue to suffer grave threats to their mental and physical health, along with learning loss, as a result of the pandemic. This will affect them for years to come.

The future of Canada depends on the strength of children and youth. Investing in kids now will yield huge dividends for Canada in the years ahead.

But it will require big, bold leadership on your part, with significant investments made over the short, medium and long term.

Each and every day, we dedicate ourselves to improving the lives of kids from coast to coast to coast. We are committed to doing our part.
