Career Education - Covid 19 support

Career Education offers students the opportunity to pursue their journey through life in a personal, meaningful and goal-oriented way (Ministry of Education). What does this mean in a time of crisis? Career Development supports the well being of individuals and society by asking individuals to engage in self-awareness, community connections, and career-life explorations.



Westsyde resident Tasha Mckay recently saw an online post about pinning up rainbows in windows. It gives kids an activity to do, whether that's painting or drawing, and serves as a reminder that we're all in this together.
