  • Celebrating Friends of UNICEF

    Posted by UNICEF Canada ·

    July 30 is International Day of Friendship, and that means something big here at UNICEF! Sometimes challenges can seem insurmountable before friends light the way. And that’s exactly what our incredible supporters do. The act of donating to UNICEF Canada means your friendship extends a helping hand to millions of children around the world, including in 200 countries where humanitarian crises pose extreme risk.

  • Climate Change: A Teenager’s Perspective

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    The world is changing, and not in a good way. As a teenager growing up, I slowly saw the environment around us changing. It's not just about ice caps melting or sea levels rising; it is about the impact on our everyday lives. Climate change isn’t an abstract idea but a fact that touches everyone.

  • Pride Month Is a Revolution

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    The celebration of Pride and Pride Month is the celebration of the revolution that led us to being able to be ourselves and to love who we love. We honour and cherish those before us who have helped us get to where we are today.

  • Under The Knife

    Posted by Sevaun Palvetzian ·

    A razorblade should not be a rite of passage for a child. And yet, globally, 2 million girls under age 5 each year are held down, their bodies cut, carved and stitched up in unnatural form. Around the world today, at least 230 million girls and women have survived FGM and live with its lasting physical and psychological effects.

  • Rediscovering My Local Ecosystem: My Journey to British Columbia’s Clam Gardens

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    Our UNICEF Canada Youth Advocate, Daniel, shares about British Columbia's clam gardens. Indigenous peoples have been building clam gardens for at least 3,500 years. Research shows that these gardens are three times more productive than wild beaches in producing clams, such as the butter clam and littleneck clams. He urges everyone to explore their local ecosystems, learn about their area's history and traditional practices, and get involved to protect the environment around them.

  • On 2SLGBTQ+ Rights Canada is Great, But Not Perfect

    Posted by Guest Author ·

    As we celebrate Pride Month, we should be proud of all the work we have done over the last few decades to make our 2SLGBTQ+ community feel safer. Despite the accomplishments, we should not let our foot off the gas. While we have made progress that we should be proud of, we are never immune from sabotage and backsliding.

  • The (Super) Power of Consistency

    Posted by Sevaun Palvetzian ·

    Consistency is about how you repeatedly show up. Without question, having raw talent helps. Specialized knowledge does too. But the true game changer for success – on or off the field – is consistency.
