National Child Day is the Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is a good day for the Government of Canada to tell Canadians what it plans to do with the recommendations from the Third/Fourth Review, which it received in October. The CCRC proposes that the government commit to developing a full response over the next year and releasing it before the next National Child Day in 2013. The CCRC proposes 10 Steps for Canada’s Children as a good starting point. National Child Day News Release: News Release for National Child Day. Letter to Prime Minister: Letter to PM on next steps for children’s rights. CCRC Proposals: 10 Steps for Children in Canada.
