Children and Youth in Care Day 2025 Media Statement
Celebrating Children and Youth in Care Day 2025
On May 14, 2025, the Children's Aid Foundation of Halton and the Halton Children's Aid Society join communities across Ontario in recognizing Children and Youth in Care Day. This special day honors the valuable contributions of current and former youth in care, acknowledging their strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
As part of the #ForgetMeNot campaign, we are celebrating the #LittleWins of young people with lived experience in the child welfare system. Every step forward, no matter how small, counts. Whether it's completing a homework assignment, making a new friend, learning a new skill, or achieving a personal goal, these little wins matter.
The Halton Children's Aid Society echoes the sentiment, recognizing the importance of this day in highlighting the achievements and progress of children and youth in our care. We are proud of the resilience and determination shown by these young individuals and remain committed to providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive.
The Children's Aid Foundation of Halton and the Halton Children's Aid Society are proud to amplify the stories of young people in and from care, highlighting their achievements and the influential people in their lives who have contributed to their well-being. By sharing these stories, we hope to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation for the resilience and determination of these remarkable young individuals.
On this Children and Youth in Care Day, we invite our community to join us in celebrating the little wins that make a big difference in the lives of children and youth in and from care. Together, we can make a positive impact and support these young people as they continue to grow and thrive.
