As this season shifts, many of us reflect on the people who helped shape our children’s days. They listened, encouraged, and helped children feel more confident in being themselves. You can recognize their care with a gift to the Raffi Foundation: raffifoundation.org/thank-an-edu...

While in Toronto, Laurel Collins met with Alexa Gilmour, MPP, to discuss shared values of striving to ensure every child has the supports they need. When children feel loved, safe, and that they belong, families flourish, communities thrive, and our planet heals. #ChildHonouring #EarlyYears
