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.

Red Shirt Day for Accessibility
Red Shirt Day of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion is a day when people across Canada come together and wear red to create a visible display of solidarity: to show their support for disabled people and their families, celebrate the achievements of disabled Canadians, and pledge their commitment to help create a fully accessible and inclusive society.
Red Shirt Day is an Easter Seals initiative first celebrated in 2019. It takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year.
