Time to Turn Back the Clock and Change the Conversation about Learning through Play. With the end of October nearby, we will soon be reminded to turn back our clocks in order to gain a few extra hours of daylight. It’s also an opportunity for us to literally turn back time and reflect on our experiences as children and what this time of year meant to us.

Every October Children’s Aid Societies across the province raise awareness about the rights of children and youth to safety and well-being, and the responsibility of adults and community services to help children, youth, and families who need support. On Ontario Dress Purple Day we join together with our key partners, Boards of Education, schools, and child care centres and homes, to share this positive message that help is available and to celebrate the community that cares for kids and families. This year Ontario Dress Purple Day will take place on Wednesday, October 24, 2018.
