Healthy Eating, Physical Activity: A Community Approach for Children

Presented by: Department of Paediatrics, Saint John Regional Hospital and Fundy Wellness Network

Guest Speakers: Rachel Colley and Dr. Jean-Phillipe Chaput

Location: King’s Valley Wesleyan Church Conference Centre, Quispamsis

National Child Day has been celebrated across Canada since 1993 to commemorate the United Nations’ adoption of two documents centered on children’s rights: the United Nations Declaration of Rights of the Child on November 20, 1959, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989.

By ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1991, Canada made a commitment to ensure that all children are treated with dignity and respect.  This commitment includes the opportunity to have a voice, be protected from harm and be provided with their basic needs and every opportunity to reach their full potential.

Celebrating National Child Day is about celebrating children as active participants in their own lives and in communities, as active citizens who can and should meaningfully contribute to decision-making as we create a “Canada Fit for Children”.
