Child Friendly Engagement Ideas

Edmonton is a City that values childrens meaningful engagement. Through Child Friendly Edmonton we are committed to ensuring that Children’s voices are actively pursued, heard and incorporated into programs, services and planning that impacts them.

Valuing and seeking children’s input as engaged contributors by Edmontonians will support a child friendly environment where all children will be heard, supported and included. This will ensure all aspects of the city reflect the needs and interests of children and are planned with, rather than for, children.
