Human Rights Day
Celebrating inclusion builds a stronger, more resilient, and more connected community where everyone has opportunities to thrive. Learning about human rights helps to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that empower us to stand up for our rights as well as those of others.
Human Rights Day on December 10 recognizes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human rights are our basic rights or freedoms. They include our right to live, our right to health, education, freedom of speech and thoughts, and equal rights. Everyone is entitled to these rights. Join us as we continue to work to make Stony Plain a welcoming and inclusive community, where Together We Shine!
