Celebrate National Child Day 2026 with special guests, our journal launch, and the Cherry Kingsley Award presentation.
Join the Landon Pearson Centre for the Study of Childhood and Children’s Rights for our annual National Child Day celebration!
This year’s event will explore the theme “Freedom of Expression and Identity Through the Lens of Children’s Rights,” highlighting the importance of hearing from young people about issues that matter in their daily lives.
The celebration will feature special guests, mark the launch of the latest issue of the Canadian Journal of Children’s Rights / Revue canadienne des droits des enfants, and present the Cherry Kingsley Award to this year’s winner.
Following the event, guests are invited to continue the conversation and connect with fellow attendees over light refreshments.
We look forward to celebrating with you! All are welcome.
