"I Have the Right to Play!"

National Child Day is a day when people across the country take time to celebrate Canada's most precious resource — our children. This year, join us in celebrating the occasion by building awareness of Canada’s commitment to a child’s right to play.

Play models the social framework that builds relationships for life. Play kindles imagination and gives children the chance, in a world where so many carry heavy burdens, to simply be children.

Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child presents the embedded, yet simple message that "children have the right to play."

CCCF has prepared this Toolkit to help communities across Canada in their National Child Day events and activities.
