Link of the Day: Right to Play Canada

“Right to Play is committed to every child’s right to play. We give children a chance to become constructive participants in society, regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity, social background or religion. Through games and sports, we help create social change in communities affected by war, poverty and disease.

“A team of top athletes from more than 40 countries support Right to Play. As role models, these athletes inspire children and raise awareness about Right to Play internationally. Our aim is to engage key decision-makers from the development, sport, business, media and government sectors and further ensure every child benefits from the positive power of sport and play.

“Each week, more than 700,000 children take part in regular sport and play activities and a combined total of more than 1 million children attend regular programming and special sports events and festivals. This is made possible by more than 15,000 local Coaches, Teachers and Leaders.”

Right to Play is hosting a public awareness event tonight at 6:45 PM on the University of Toronto campus, as part of an eight-city national tour. Visit their event page for details.
