Every October, Children’s Aid Societies across Ontario raise awareness about the important role that individuals and communities play in supporting vulnerable children, youth, and families through the provincial Dress Purple Day campaign.
This year, Dress Purple Day will take place on Friday October 27, 2023.
North Eastern Ontario Family and Children’s Services (NEOFACS) is inviting you to wear something purple to show children, youth, and families that you are here to help!
Dress Purple Day is different. Learn more about:
