This Wednesday was spent with the Grade 4 class in St Brieux where we did a Brain Waves session!🧠 The students were so focused and engaged. A big highlight was tasting the sour solution while learning about the Parietal Lobe! We explored how each part of the brain works and why it’s so important to protect it-by doing things like wearing a helmet!🪖💡

🚨 Worried about how all those sugary treats you’re ingesting (or handing out) today are affecting your brain & overall health??! 😱 Here’s our best “go to”/Saskatchewan-made solution! 😋😉😂
OR….. better yet, remind yourself that it’s our everyday practices that affect brain health.
Instead, enjoy the joy, silliness and excitement of Halloween and follow pedestrian safety practices 🎃 THIS effort will go father in supporting your/your ghoulie’s wellbeing than having one less mini chocolate bar 🍫
1) Join/supervise your under 10 year old ghoulies for the evening 🦸🏼‍♀️
2) Ensure everyone is visible (flashlights, reflective materials) and can see/hear while wearing their costumes 🔦
3) Remind everyone to follow safe pedestrian practices such as walking in groups, staying on the sidewalk where possible, crossing safely at the corners 🚸

👻 Have fun tonight; Be smart; Be safe 🦺

It's a 🍁"CANADA POST"- ponement! 🍁

Most years in December, ABI Education & Prevention offers VIRTUAL BRAIN WAVES, our on-line version of the popular Parachute Canada program.

Unfortunately, due to the current Canada Post job action, we can't be confident our teaching materials will make it out to students & schools in a timely way. As a result we'll be postponing Virtual Brain Waves until the new year. Keep your eyes👀 on this page for more information about upcoming dates.

We still offer in-classroom presentations & will travel to schools as we're able.

Thanks everyone for your understanding!

It was our 🌟FIRST🌟 P.A.RT.Y. PROGRAM of the school year in Saskatoon!

TOMMY DOUGLAS COLLEGIATE hosted the full-day event, which focused on preventing fatalities & serious injuries in young people. Students learned about risk, choice & consequence from presenters with professional & lived experience of serious injury.

A BIG 📣shout out to the teachers at TDC who helped organize the day & to our presenters who took time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge & insights with the students!
