February 13, 2025, from 1:00pm-2:00pm EST ZOOM
The Caring Society will host a virtual screening of My Voice Matters: Changing the World through Child and Youth Activism. In this film, young people who participated in the Caring Society’s social justice-based reconciliation campaigns in elementary and secondary school look back on how their experiences of standing up for equity for First Nations children impacted them.
Following the screening, we will host a panel discussion with some of the young adults featured in the film as they share more about their experiences as young people who stood up for equity for First Nations children. Some of these guests were a part of the very first Have a Heart Day gatherings on the steps of Parliament! To close off the event, there will be a Q&A session where viewers can enter their questions via Zoom.
