Children & Youth

"It takes a whole village to raise a child." Keeping this African proverb in mind, two broad-based recommendations are used to inform the work of the Council to the present day:

• To de-stigmatize the public's image of youth and youth violence
• To support school and out-of-school meaningful and accessible intervention and prevention programs for ages birth to 18

There are several documents and discussion papers surrounding youth that may be of particular interest to you. We have included several documents in PDF format: A synopsis of Children and Youth - Current Status, Youth Crime Fact Sheet, and Highlights from the Youth Survey in Overview, with an example of a youth survey from 1997. Also, please review our Child and Youth Action Team's Discussion Paper on the Ministry of Education Ontario Schools Code of Conduct.

Children must be a priority for our energy and resources.
