Black History Month is a time to celebrate achievements—but also a time to reflect. It invites us to learn about Canada’s history, recognize the systemic barriers Black communities continue to face, and recommit to addressing anti-Black racism and discrimination. Learning is part of building belonging.

The Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) is working in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington (CMHA WW) to open a new Care and Treatment Education Program (CTEP) to support youth with mental health and substance use disorder. The new program was developed collaboratively by UGDSB and CMHA WW throughout the fall. It will serve students in Grades 8 to 12 and is intended to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where students can build the skills needed to begin the transition back to a community school. https://www.ugdsb.ca/article/13666
