Canadian Council of Provincial Child and Youth Advocates Members
The CCPCYA is an alliance of provincially appointed children's advocates from the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Newfoundland; the Nova Scotia Children's Ombudsman, the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse from the province of Quebec; and the British Columbia Child and Youth Officer. Although the mandate of each of the children's advocates differs, we share a common commitment to further the voice, rights and dignity of children. Through the Council, the children's advocates identify issues of mutual concern and strive to develop ways to address issues at a national level.
