At DTSSAB, we’re proud to support every child’s right to inclusive, quality child care through our new team of Inclusion Support Workers. These dedicated professionals work alongside educators to ensure every child receives the support they need to grow and learn in an inclusive environment.

Children have the right to be included, to access education, and to be heard-rights that are essential for their growth and well-being. This year, National Child Day highlights Article 30 of the UNCRC, protecting children’s right to practice their culture, religion, and language—an important part of belonging and identity.

This week marks National Addictions Awareness Week - a time to listen, to learn, and to support those affected by substance use and addition.

This year’s theme is “Anchoring Hope.” Addiction is not a choice. Like any other health issue, people experiencing addition deserve compassion and care. We must continue to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and make it easier to support those who need help.

The Government of Canada is working to raise awareness of the overdose crisis, with a focus on prevention, reducing stigma, and supporting people who are seeking help. Visit: https://ow.ly/H4cc50Xt0oa
