Press Release
OWEN SOUND, Ontario – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “DRESS PURPLE DAY” – Here to Help
In a resounding display of solidarity and commitment to the welfare of children, Ontario is once again gearing up for “Dress Purple Day.” This annual event, scheduled for October 27, 2023, raises awareness that Children’s Aid Societies are part of the circle of care that supports the well-being of children, youth and families.
“Dress Purple Day” is a province-wide initiative that unites individuals, schools, organizations, and communities in donning shades of purple to raise awareness about the Rights of every child to safety and well-being in all spaces. This includes physical safety and well-being, but also their right to have their intersectional identity, which includes culture, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity, protected, and supported in all spaces.
On October 27th, we celebrate our community that cares for all children, and we share the message that no one is alone.
