Hello everyone,
We are now on Bluesky. To find us there visit ocyanl.bsky.social
Thanks to instructors Deb and Janine and all the students of the Child and Youth Care (with Addictions) Support Worker Program @AcademyCanada for inviting us into your class. Always a pleasure to visit and talk about our Office and the rights of children and youth.

At RCY, we celebrate and support trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse children and youth.
You are valued. You are loved. You belong.
We are continuing to advocate for enhanced legislative protections for 2STNBGD young people – read more in our Right to Thrive report.

Today is #PinkShirtDay & we wear pink to stand against bullying of all forms & in all spaces (school, work, home, public spaces, sporting events, etc.). Children are unique & are not mini-adults. It is our collective responsibility to ensure their rights are upheld & protected.
