Dear Friends!
This year marks the 11th Children and Youth in Care Day (CYIC Day) in Ontario! For people with living experience in the child protection system, this day can come with many feelings. Some of us may be celebrating, some of us mourning, some of us will not even want to think about this day. For many it will bring a mixture of feelings.
Children and Youth in Care Day takes place annually on May 14th and was the result of years of advocacy and awareness raising by those with living experience and our allies. It was a recommendation of the My REAL Lifebook report published.
Never Too Late (NTL) strives to center living experience in everything we do, and that includes learning from the mistakes we make along the way (and we do make mistakes!). Children and Youth in Care Day is a great day to reflect on how you're centering living experience in your personal and professional lives.
We're also pleased to be launching a monthly Ask a Lived Expert panel event (online). While these events are usually exclusive to our community, in honour of Children and Youth in Care Day we're opening the debut event up to everyone! We hope you will join us.
