Universal Children鈥檚 Day (November 20)

鈥淚nternational Children's Day recognizes the rights and contributions of children worldwide including the right to non-discrimination.
As Canada celebrates, the federal government fails to comply with three legal orders by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and a unanimous House of Commons Motion to cease racial discrimination against 165,000 First Nations children and youth.
Canadians are ahead of their government on this one - the public no longer tolerate government discrimination in any form. It is time we all speak up to end it while these children still have a childhood.鈥鈥擟indy Blackstock
