“Dress Purple Day offers an opportunity to raise awareness that the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society works together with many community organizations to help children, youth, and families facing challenges.” says Jennifer McLauchlan, Kawartha- Haliburton Children’s Aid Society executive director. “We are wearing purple today to show children, youth, and families that we care and are here to help.”

Dress Purple Day also reminds young people that they have rights to safety and well-being which goes beyond what we often think of when we use those words according to a press release.
