National Child Day message from Ontario Ombudsman Paul Dubé:
Hi, I’m Ontario Ombudsman Paul Dubé.
Today, on National Child Day, I wanted to send a message of appreciation to all children and youth in Ontario and across Canada – to let you know how much we value the resilience you’ve shown, and the sacrifices you’ve made, over the last year and a half.
This pandemic has not been easy on anyone, but the huge changes you’ve had to make to the way you live – from the way you have had to learn, to your ability to see and hang out with your friends – has not gone unnoticed. Through my daughter, I have seen first hand how challenging this has been.
I want you to know everything you did – big or small – to help us all through this pandemic has made a contribution to keeping us safe and healthy. For this, we see you, and we want to say thank you.
As we begin to return to normal life, I know you’re looking forward to getting back to doing the things you love.
My wish is for you to be able to do all of these things safely and enjoyably – with a renewed hope for the bright potential your future holds. My commitment to you is to continue listening to you, upholding your rights and making sure you are treated fairly.
My Office and I are here for you if you ever need to reach out to us
Once again, thank you – and I wish you a happy National Child Day.
