<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Saturday, Grand River Friendship Society and the </span><b>Children and Youth Planning Table of Waterloo Region (CYPT)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> came together to host a special community event as part of the upcoming </span><b>Child Voice Project 2026</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">  (</span><b>CVP 2026) </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Children ages </span><b>6–10</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> gathered at the GRFS building and participated in </span><b>9 different activity stations</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, each inspired by one of </span><b>UNICEF Canada’s 9 Areas of Child Well-Being</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Through hands-on activities, teamwork, creativity, and learning, participants explored important themes that contribute to healthy, happy, and thriving childhoods.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We sincerely thank all the volunteers, families, and children who helped make this event such a success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We look forward to continuing this journey together as we prepare for </span><b>CVP 2026.</b></p>
