MAY 1, 2026—Every year since 1951, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has hosted Mental Health Week in the first full week of May. This year, CMHA Mental Health Week will be held from May 4th to 10th.

It highlights the essential role of social connection in mental well-being.

APRIL 30, 2026—The 2026-2027 school year is shaping up to be an exciting one, filled with music, growth, and great experiences in band!

As we look ahead to next year, there will be some changes to the elementary band delivery model. With the opening of the MusicCentre@Dieppe in September, all band classes will take place at the Music Centre. Students will participate in band for one half day each week, providing a unique opportunity to learn and grow in a specialized music environment.

Schools will ensure that students attending the Music Centre do not miss literacy or numeracy instruction. Schedules will be developed to protect these core learning areas.

APRIL 30, 2026—May is Asian Heritage Month. It acknowledges the long and rich history of Asian Canadians and their contributions to Canada. It also provides an opportunity for all Canadians to learn about and celebrate the vibrant culture and accomplishments of Asian-Canadian citizens and communities.

Asian Canadian Heritage Month has been celebrated across Canada since the 1990s. In December 2001, the Senate of Canada adopted a motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy to officially designate May as Asian Canadian Heritage Month in Canada. In May 2002, the Government of Canada signed an official declaration to designate May as Asian Canadian Heritage Month.
