CALGARY (660 NEWS) – On what is being called ‘National Child Day’ a group of researchers is out with a list of issues facing kids around the country and a call to action to help.
Children’s First Canada is out with a report outlining problems our children are facing from coast to coast.
The group is also calling on governments to look at the Canadian Children’s Charter, just finalized on Nov. 18, in order to address the issues.
