Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
Days of Significance Calendar
At Niagara Children's Centre, we embrace the diverse identities, experiences, perspectives, and abilities of our children, youth, their families, our staff, board members, and community partners. This calendar has been thoughtfully curated to equally celebrate, acknowledge, and embrace the richness of our community.
Note: Select days may vary a few days before or after the indicated date due to the observance of the lunar calendar for some cultures/faiths and time zones.

Start of Invisible Disabilities Week
Every year, on the third week of October we recognize Invisible Disabilities Week. By doing so, we are unified in our mission to bring awareness, education and support to our neighborhoods and around the world about invisible disabilities.
The term we define, invisible disability, refers to symptoms such as debilitating pain, fatigue, dizziness, cognitive dysfunctions, brain injuries, learning differences and mental health disorders, as well as hearing and vision impairments. These are not always obvious to the onlooker, but can sometimes or always limit daily activities, range from mild challenges to severe limitations, and vary from person to person.
