Have a Heart Day
February 14 is "Have a Heart Day"—take some time with children to mark a different kind of Valentine’s Day. Have a Heart Day is a project of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society. Led by Dr. Cindy Blackstock, the Caring Society educates about and advocates for the rights of Indigenous kids across Canada. It works directly with Indigenous kids and communities to do this. Find out more about the day and how you can get involved.
