RED DEER- The Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre (CACAC) is “Going Blue” on Thursday, October 24 in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month – and we want you to join us.

By wearing blue, you are showing support and sparking the conversation around child abuse and creating a community where children are believed and feel safe in telling their story.

You can “Go Blue” by simply getting your office, school, community clubs, and families to wear an item of blue.

The Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre has also gratefully partnered with local businesses throughout Red Deer to help raise awareness.

Here are a few local businesses Going Blue:
