UNICEF Canada is encouraged by elements of the 2026 Federal Budget, including investments towards keeping children safe online and increased funding for Indigenous children. More than ever, a holistic, long-term, targeted vision for improving children’s well-being is needed in Canada. When it comes to supporting children abroad, the budget's ambition for children appears to stop at our borders. Canada’s security, prosperity and influence also depends on sustained global leadership, including investing in the children and communities whose futures will shape our shared world.
