Toronto and Cities Across Canada Proclaim July 8 Child Honouring Day

Cities across Canada are recognizing Child Honouring, the movement founded by Raffi Cavoukian that calls for children’s needs to be at the heart of decision-making.

Toronto, Vancouver, and Victoria have proclaimed July 8 as Child Honouring Day, marking an important milestone for the movement and coinciding with Raffi’s birthday.

The recognition comes during a significant year for Child Honouring, as 2026 marks 50 years since Raffi released Singable Songs for the Very Young. It also comes as the Foundation continues its advocacy for stronger protections for children, including a minimum age for social media.

Learn more about these proclamations and what they mean for Child Honouring below:

Write Your Representatives – Protect Our Kids: No Social Media Under 16

Right now, a child in Canada is being bullied online. Another is at risk of online sexual exploitation. Others are lying awake at 2am, scrolling through content designed by algorithms to keep them hooked.

It’s time for Canada to join countries like Norway, France, UK and Australia that are advancing or implementing age minimums and regulations.

Join the Raffi Foundation for Child Honouring in calling on federal and provincial governments to protect our kids.
