Youth and Global Issues

What we do here in Canada and how we live has a direct impact on people in other countries, just as actions or inactions taken in other places have a direct impact on our lives here in Canada. We all share the same planet, and we all need the same things to live to our fullest potential.

October 31 is National UNICEF Day!
