This Saturday, Grand River Friendship Society and the Children and Youth Planning Table of Waterloo Region (CYPT) came together to host a special community event as part of the upcoming Child Voice Project 2026 (CVP 2026) .
Children ages 6–10 gathered at the GRFS building and participated in 9 different activity stations, each inspired by one of UNICEF Canada’s 9 Areas of Child Well-Being. Through hands-on activities, teamwork, creativity, and learning, participants explored important themes that contribute to healthy, happy, and thriving childhoods.
It was a joyful day filled with learning, laughter, friendship, and community spirit. The program created a meaningful space for children to engage, express themselves, build connections, and learn through play.
We sincerely thank all the volunteers, families, and children who helped make this event such a success.
We look forward to continuing this journey together as we prepare for CVP 2026.
