National Child Day - November 20, 2006

This year’s National Child Day celebrates the Right to Be Heard and emphasizes each child's right to have a voice in matters that affect him or her.

In recognition of National Child Day, the Youth Justice Policy Section of Justice Canada would like to congratulate youth from the Glace Bay Youth Action Committee (YAC) for their success in engaging officials at various levels of government, having their voices heard, and sharing their advocacy model with other youth.

Four members of the Glace Bay YAC were sponsored by Justice Canada to attend the “Pump up the Volume” conference on October 21st, 2006 at Ryerson University in Toronto. At the conference, the youth conducted an interactive workshop demonstrating how their group arranged and conducted meetings with members of the law and enforcement community. In their meetings with the Chief of Police, City Mayor, and provincial and federal political representatives, they discussed and mapped out ways to improve their community, lessen stereotypes against youth, and reduce crime.

For more information about the Glace Bay YAC, their presentation at the “Pump of the Volume” Conference, and to view samples of their action model and planning sheet, please visit Cape Breton University’s Children’s Rights Centre Web site.
