The theme of the 2026 Semaine Québécoise de la Paternité is Be a team so the whole family wins. It was chosen to promote coparenting and its benefits for all family members, as well as for society as a whole, since the coparenting approach promotes greater equality between women and men, enables the inclusion of all family configurations, and supports the provision of better services to families, taking into account their particular circumstances and the issues specific to all parents.
This year, accordingly, RVP is seeking to create a public space to shine a light on Quebec families’ coparenting realities, and to raise awareness of the coparenting approach as a powerful driver for finding solutions to the challenges facing families in the 21st century. To this end, RVP will be running a major campaign June 15-21, consisting of an online launch on June 15 at 10:00 a.m., a media campaign including the dissemination of two open letters, a social media campaign, the posting of our partners’ activities online, and a contest for coparents on Father’s Day.
The campaign will be supported by a platform that will present a review of coparenting literature, the highlights of a survey of our network members, the highlights of a SOM survey of 2,817 parents, and proposals for better integrating coparenting realities into public policy and family services.
