In 2006, the Wellington Children's Services Council and the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Coalition for Report Cards on the Well-Being of Children led to the development of a Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Children's Charter of Rights. This charter was made unique to our community and is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. There was an overwhelmingly positive response towards the Children's Charter of Rights, with 61 organizations in Wellington, Dufferin, and Guelph endorsing the Charter, demonstrating a strong community commitment to improving the lives and futures of our local children.
