A movement for safer online spaces

In Canada, we have safety rules for almost everything our children touch: the cars they ride in, the food they eat, the medicine they take, and the toys they play with, but almost none for the digital platforms where they spend hours every day.

Our goal

To secure strong, enforceable online safety legislation in Canada

With Bill C-34 now before Parliament, our focus is on strengthening it and getting it passed, then turning our focus to the hard work of implementation.

We are not anti-technology

The internet has extraordinary value for young people: learning, creating, finding community, being heard. We oppose a system where powerful companies profit from children’s attention while taking little responsibility for their safety.

The coalition

Canada's child health and child protection communities, working together.

We bring together the clinicians who treat the harm, the organisations that protect children from exploitation, the networks that shape child health policy, and the families who have lived the consequences.

Each coalition partner contributes their expertise, evidence, and reach. We all share the goal of passing Bill C-34, yet we each speak in our own voice and bring our own perspectives to the table.
