Every child deserves to live safely and without fear. In Alberta, the government is stepping up to ensure our children are protected. This year, they increased funding by 10% for child advocacy centres across the province, which are special spaces where children who have faced abuse can find support and share their stories.

It's important to remember that speaking up can save lives. If you ever notice something concerning about a child's well-being, don't hesitate to report it. You can call the confidential, 24/7 child intervention line at 1-800-638-0715, or reach out to local authorities to lend a helping hand.

Throughout October, let's raise awareness together by going blue for Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Alberta Legislature will light up in blue on Friday, October 24. Join us in showing our support for this meaningful cause!

Together, we can create a safe environment for our children and remind them they are never alone.
