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.

Global Developmental Delay Day

Global Developmental Delay Day

May 1st is Global Developmental Delay Awareness Day. This term describes a condition occurring during the developmental period of a child's life - from birth to 18 years old. It is characterized by lower intellectual functioning, limitations in communication, self-care, home living, academic skills, leisure, health and safety. GDD has various causes linked with the functioning of the central nervous system, such as trauma to the central nervous system, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, genetic disorders, metabolic disorders, etc. Everyone is encouraged to post a picture of themselves wearing something yellow and explain why to raise awareness of an invisible disability.
