APRIL 30, 2026—Saskatchewan has declared May 3 to 9, 2026, as Missing Persons Week. Members of the Saskatchewan Missing Persons Partnership (SMPP) focus on prevention, response and supports for families of missing people, including children and youth.

APRIL 30, 2026—Emergency Preparedness Week is May 3 to 9, 2026, with the theme "Be Prepared. Know Your Risks." This national initiative is led by Public Safety Canada and serves as a reminder to ensure that you have a plan in place to keep yourself, your family, and your community safe during an emergency.

You can take these steps to prepare for emergency situations beyond your control.

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.

APRIL 30, 2026—May has been proclaimed Early Childhood Education Month in Saskatchewan. This month reminds us that positive experiences for young children continue to help them throughout their lives with quality early years programs and initiatives.

May 13th is Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day. Thank you to all the amazing and hard-working Early Childhood Educators who teach, support, and build strong relationships with children and their families! You make a positive difference in the futures of our youngest students by helping to build the foundation for a successful education and the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of children.
