Proclamation: Media Literacy Week and Digital Citizen Day
October 23, 2026
The Manitoba government proclaims October 26 to 30, 2026, as Media Literacy Week and October 28, 2026, as Digital Citizen Day to promote digital and media literacy in Manitoba.
Digital and media literacy are vital for all Manitobans to engage responsibly and safely in online environments. Raising awareness about digital and media literacy in school is crucial to ensuring all students have the skills needed to use, understand, engage, access, and verify online information.
Educators, parents, and community members can help foster safe and respectful online interactions that promote positive physical and mental health. They play an essential role in cultivating students' critical thinking skills, including the capacity to contextualize and critically evaluate digital media to make informed decisions.
The Manitoba government encourages all Manitobans who interact with young people to engage them in digital and media literacy learning.
