National Child's Day

November 11, 2007 permalink

Parents will have an opportunity to take their views to the public on Tuesday, November 20 from 8 am to noon in an event organized by Fathers are Capable Too. There is nothing about the cause of separation in the organizing, so parents bereft by child protection can join those affected by divorce.

National Child's Day

National Child's Day is our annual day for reminding the Courts of International Conventions on the rights of children to family, all family and specifically frequent contact with both parents as parents. This is the anniversary of the day that Canada signed this Convention, but the Courts have long decided that international convention applies only to other nations. Please come out and support the rights of our children -- all of our children -- on this important day.

In Toronto, we will be at the family court building at 393 University Avenue (just south of Dundas) on November 20 at 8:00 am to noon/1pm. We want to let these people know what Canadians think as they show up to work, rather than after they hide in the building. Attire is recommended to be business attire -- like a shirt and tie -- it eliminates the usual dismissals of what we have to say. Please remember that this is November in Canada -- it is COLD. Dress warmly, bring gloves, wear a hat because we will be outside and we will be in the weather.

In other jurisdictions, it is our understanding that other groups will be present also at selected spots. If you are out as an individual, or as a group, please let us know at webmaster@fact.on.ca.
