Friday, November 20 NATIONAL CHILD DAY.

We are mobilizing to spotlight the devastating impact underfunding of the Children’s Aid Societies and Children’s Mental Health sector on children in Ontario.

We are asking CAS and Children’s Mental Health locals to take our message to the community. Please:

Distribute blue ribbons to everyone in your workplace to symbolize our urgent concern that children are being put at risk by the province’s failure to ensure sufficient funding for these vital services

Approach your employer to ask if you can work together on organizing an event for Friday November 20th.

With any partners interested (employer, other agencies/locals in your area), organize an event or action for November 20th. It can be as easy as a lunch-hour event such as handing out ribbons and bookmarks to the general public at a local mall or heavily trafficked shopping area. The goal is to build community understanding and support for the important work we do with at-risk children. It is all about putting pressure on the government who is refusing to provide the necessary funding support for our agencies.

Find ways other ways to get the blue ribbons into the community, along with the information book mark that gives our message to the community

Circulate the Declaration widely asking people to sign on.

The NOV20 Blue Ribbon initiative is being carried out by CUPE, OPSEU and CEP, along with Ontario Association for Children’s Aid Society (OACAS) and the Children’s Mental Health Ontario (CHMO)

Let’s get out and make ourselves heard on NOV20 !
