Manitoba Advocate

WELCOME

The Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) is here to make sure the voices of young people are heard. We make sure their rights are respected and that they have a say in decisions that affect their lives. We advocate, investigate, and review public services in Manitoba to ensure they are meeting the needs of children, youth, and young adults.

OUR TEAM

The Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) is an independent office of the Manitoba legislature. That means we are outside the government and are not a part of any government department. The Manitoba Advocate is empowered by legislation to support and advise children, youth, and young adults of their rights and the services which should be available to them.

We all have a different pace, don’t worry about that. You will get there – focus on being at peace with yourself as you move forward. 🌈 –

Do you know your rights? Canada is one of the countries that signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which promises rights to children and youth. One of the ways MACY celebrated the 30th anniversary of the UNCRC this year was by making it the theme of our Annual Report!
