Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
Days of Significance Calendar
At Niagara Children's Centre, we embrace the diverse identities, experiences, perspectives, and abilities of our children, youth, their families, our staff, board members, and community partners. This calendar has been thoughtfully curated to equally celebrate, acknowledge, and embrace the richness of our community.
Note: Select days may vary a few days before or after the indicated date due to the observance of the lunar calendar for some cultures/faiths and time zones.
