The Raising Canada report series has tracked the top 10 threats to childhood since 2018, providing an evidence-driven, solutions-oriented roadmap for safeguarding the well-being of children and youth, ultimately mobilizing action toward Children First Canada (CFC)’s vision of making this the best place in the world for kids to grow up.

This year’s report (2025) draws from the latest data, expert consultation, and youth-led focus groups to present an updated, intersectional view of childhood well-being in Canada.
