Building a better Canada talk today for World Social Work Day

Nipissing University celebrates World Social Work Day on March 21 by welcoming Gordon Phaneuf, chief executive officer at the Child Welfare League of Canada, to speak on a vitally important topic: Building a Better Canada for all Children and Youth, at 6 p.m. in room F210.

This lecture will explore some of the key trends and developments in Social Work in Canada. The potential for positive change in the lives of indigenous and non-indigenous children and youth will be examined in the light of establishment, findings and recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; Human Rights Tribunal Ruling; and the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry. The presentation will address the prospects and challenges for creating a better Canada for children and youth.
