MANITOBA ADVOCATE RELEASES NEW RECOMMENDATION MONITORING MODEL

The Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) is proud to launch our new recommendation development and monitoring model, The Promise of Seeds, fundamentally shifting how we advocate for and advance the rights and well-being of young people across Manitoba. “Our new recommendation development and monitoring model helps drive the kind of transformational changes needed to enable the full and equitable realization of children’s rights across Manitoba, and ensure that no child is left behind,” said Manitoba Advocate Sherry Gott. “It is intended to help us do this by centring and deepening relationships, fostering mutual learning and benefit, and developing practices, systems, and structures that move us closer to social justice, equity, self-determination, and collective well-being.”

Each recommendation released by this office is a seed planted with care and intention. It represents not only our collective hopes for Manitoba’s young people, but also our shared responsibilities and potential to fulfill their rights. Each seed has its own unique needs and purposes, requiring particular environments and distinct kinds of care to thrive. What each seed eventually grows into and produces depends so much on how it is nurtured and cared for. When we come together with many hands and diverse gifts to support the seed, we increase its chances of growing and flourishing.
