Winter Walk Day may be over, but there's still plenty of time to walk or wheel to school this winter.
Walking and wheeling to school is good for the environment, supports children’s health, and helps them connect with their neighbourhood. This February, ask your kids what they enjoy most about their school journey! #WinterWalk&Wheel Month.

A green background Speak to yourself with kindness, and give yourself permission to rest, play, and recharge.
A green background. Activity: Sit as a family and take turns sharing a sincere compliment or positive note about each person. Write them down, put them in a jar, and pick one whenever someone could use a little encouragement.

We’re only a few weeks away from February, which is Black History Month. Black History Month is a time when people across Canada learn about and honour the history, achievements, and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities. Throughout the month, we will celebrate Black excellence, learn from history, and reflect on how we can continue to act, today and into the future. We’ll start with a look at the Canadian perspective, then throughout February we’ll dig into the work being done in the UGDSB.
