Children and youth comprise about 19% of Â鶹ӳ»¡¯s population (Statistics Canada 2021)
Each year, more than 30,000 children are admitted to Â鶹ӳ» hospitals (2019)
The Child & Youth Standing Committee works provincially to identify gaps in care and bring together patients, families, clinical and community stakeholders to improve health outcomes for child and youth
Our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 & Treaty 8 and the homeland of the M¨¦tis Nation of Â鶹ӳ» and 8 M¨¦tis Settlements. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous communities that have been forged in urban centres across Â鶹ӳ».
