The Ottawa Child & Youth Initiative stands against anti-Black racism.

We recognize this statement is a bare minimum and just the beginning for us.

Working for and with Ottawa's children and youth is essential every day, and the coronavirus pandemic does not change that. OCYI's members are working together to make sure the needs of children and youth are met in this time. Keep checking our homepage and our Twitter feed for information about resources. A reminder that information can change frequently, so check often for updates.
