Rule number 1 says that you never ever give up and

Rule number 2 says that you always remember rule number 1.”

Our Promise to Children

“In spite of turbulent times and government restraint, it is not too much to hope that we can make substantial progress in improving the well-being of children and families.

Our Knowledge of what is possible must be matched by a will to make it a reality. Investing in children is the mark of a compassionate society.

It is also enlightened self-interest since today’s children are Canada’s intellectual, economic and social future.”
