October 27th is Dress Purple Day!
Tikinagan Child and Family Services along with Children’s Aid Societies and Indigenous Child and Family Well-Being Agencies across Ontario, call on everyone to wear something purple to help raise awareness and to show children, youth, and families that help is available and no one is alone.
This includes every adult’s legal duty to call their local Children’s Aid Society or Indigenous Child and Family Well-Being Agency if they have a concern about the safety or well-being of a child or youth.
Dress Purple Day offers an opportunity to encourage everyone to speak up for every child and youth’s right to safety and well-being. Not just physical safety and well-being—children and youth have the right to have their culture, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity, protected, and supported in all spaces. Visit the Tikinagan website for more details.
