💙 Happy Child and Youth Care Week 💙
May 4-10, 2026!

To all the dedicated C*C practitioners and educators across Canada- thank you for the care, commitment, and heart you bring to your work every single day!!

The relationships you build, the spaces you hold, and the advocacy you lead truly matter. You are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, youth, and families- often in ways that don’t always get seen, but are deeply felt.

This week, we celebrate you and the impact you continue to have in communities from coast to coast.

👇 Drop a comment and tell us who you are and where you’re from- we’d love to celebrate you!

☕ Happening Next Week: May 13 Coffee Chat :
AI + Reflection

Let’s Get Into It. You’ve seen it! You’ve thought about it.
You might already be redesigning assignments because of it 👀

So… what actually happens when AI shows up in reflective practice?

Let’s talk about it.

This is a no-pressure, real conversation with fellow C*C educators. No lectures, just shared experiences, questions, and ideas.

Check out this quick video from host Matthew Halton (MacEwan University) for a sneak peek of what’s in store:

May 5th is Red Dress Day.

Today, we honour and remember the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+) across Turtle Island.

Red dresses, often hung in public spaces, serve as powerful visual reminders of those who are missing and those whose lives were taken, and of the ongoing impacts of colonial violence.

As Child and Youth Care professionals and educators, we are called to reflect on our role in upholding safety, dignity, and justice for Indigenous children, youth, families, and communities. This includes committing to culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed practice in all that we do.

We encourage our community to take time today to learn and reflect.
