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.
