  • A series of “Policy Briefs” on identified strategic issues unique to children aged 6 to 12

These documents and findings were then explored further through a series of comprehensive policy consultations in a regional context to engage national, provincial, regional/local networks in discussing emerging issues and identifying policy initiatives unique to children 6 to 12 and their families.
