It’s Time to Speak Up for Ontario’s Children

Listen, then, and you’ll hear this: too many of Ontario’s children are living in serious need. All children need love, security, and a sense of belonging, yet many know far too little of it. Too many are denied a safe home and the food and clothing they need. Others yearn for the support of caring adults and access to opportunities that will enrich their young lives. These children live in peril of not succeeding. And if a society is measured by the well being of its most vulnerable members, then we too risk failing.

As Ontarians, we must do more. Ensure that all children and youth are given the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Give all parents the support and skills they need to be the very best they can. Make sure that every child has a voice. Ontario, let’s speak up and give them that voice. By working together with purpose and determination, we can create a just and happy place for all our children. A place from which they can pin their hopes and dreams on the future.

So many worthy causes, so many passionate defenders, so many voices fighting to be heard. But increasingly lost in the din is one voice, small yet vital. The voice of Ontario’s children. All of them.
