Guardians of the Children Canada (French: Gardiens Des Enfants Canada) is a Canadian Charitable founded in 2014 Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. [1] As of 2019, the organization had members in five Canadian provinces. The organization is composed of chapters of recreational motorcyclists across Canada. [2] Each chapter works locally with children and parents to help victims and raise awareness of child abuse and bullying. [3] [4] [5]
The organization partners with child advocacy agencies, victim assistance groups and schools to raise awareness and provide education on child abuse as well as the anti-bullying movement. They offer support "at any time, day or night, in any way they can." [6] [7] [8] Members in each provincial chapter hold annual "Children Empowerment Rides" [9] with all local motorcyclists also encouraged to take part. [10] Members also attend local events [11] such as parades, comic book conventions, and other organized events to raise awareness and obtain donations to assist children who have been – or are being – abused, and visit local schools to help educate on abuse and bullying. [12] Members will typically attended court proceedings to support the victims. [13] [14] [15] [16] The group says its mission is to educate the public about child abuse and "to provide strength and stability to families in crisis." [17]
