What is National Child Day? 

This day marks the adoption by the United Nations of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In 1993, the Government of Canada enacted Bill C-371, otherwise known as the Child Day Act, and designated November 20th of each year as a national day of the child in order to promote awareness in Canada of the Convention.

The Convention spells out the basic human rights to which children
(under the age of 18) everywhere are entitled.
