Our Promise to Children
“In spite of turbulent times and government restraint, it is not too much to hope that we can make substantial progress in improving the well-being of children and families.
Our Knowledge of what is possible must be matched by a will to make it a reality. Investing in children is the mark of a compassionate society.
It is also enlightened self-interest since today’s children are Canada’s intellectual, economic and social future.”
