We Day Toronto is Coming! – UPDATED

After a very successful event in Vancouver, Toronto is getting ready for its own Free the Children We Day this Monday, Oct. 5.

Featuring “a series of inspirational and motivational speeches by top leadership and social issues activists, speakers and entertainers,” We Day draws thousands of students. Participants makes “a commitment to change,” supported by in-service programs that provide leadership training to help students with their action plan.

We Day Toronto will take place at the Air Canada Centre on Monday, Oct. 5 from 9am – 2pm. The event will be streamed live on CTV.ca.

"Connected Parenting advises us not just how to parent, but—far more important—who to be as parents. The therapeutic methods suggested by Jennifer Kolari are based not on simple-minded behavioural solutions, but on building warm, nurturing relationships with our children, with insight and compassion not only for their little flaws, but also for our own larger ones."
—Gabor Maté, M.D.

"A must read for parents, educators, and any other adults who want to connect in a deeply caring and positive way with the children in their lives."
