FEBRUARY 25, 2021 -- At the meeting of the Regina Board of Education on February 9, 2021, current trustees personally thanked former trustee Dr. Jane Ekong for her eight years of service with the Board, and Chairperson Adam Hicks presented her with a plaque.

Trustees who worked with Jane, as well as the new trustees to the Board, spoke about her many accomplishments, both in her personal and professional life. They also noted her contributions to public education and for the benefit of Regina Public Schools students and employees.

Regina Public Schools’ commitment to mental health and well-being pre-dated the global pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, “health and well-being” was added to the Leadership for Learning Framework’s “Big Rocks,” and the Mental Health and Wellness Initiative was launched, which subsequently led to the development of the Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy.

FEBRUARY 9, 2021 -- School divisions across Saskatchewan will celebrate Pink Day on Wednesday, February 24, 2021.

Pink Day started in 2007, when a Grade 9 student in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied by classmates for wearing a pink shirt to school. Taking notice, two students rallied their peers to send a message to the bullies. The next day, the halls were filled with students in pink T-shirts.

Pink Day started because two boys chose to do something about bullying rather than stand by and watch it happen. Now the movement is worldwide, educating and inspiring others to stand together to create an environment of anti-bullying, inclusion, belonging and respect.
