NOVEMBER 16, 2022 -- We welcome and encourage family and friends to volunteer in our school communities. Volunteer participation is an important complement to the work done by employees.

At the same time, Regina Public Schools is responsible to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff. For this reason, all volunteers who provide services to students on a recurring, scheduled basis, or who are present in a school on a recurring, scheduled basis prior to 6:00 p.m. on school days, require an original Criminal Record Check (CRC), including a vulnerable sector check.

The CRC must be provided by the Regina Police Service or, if the volunteer does not reside in Regina, from their local police agency, such as the RCMP.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 -- On October 7, 2022, Albert Community School had a professional development (PD) morning of land-based engagement. The morning included picking sage, rose hips and wolf willow. The staff meeting was held around an open fire while staff cooked bannock on a stick, hotdogs and s’mores.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 -- Staff members at Judge Bryant School had the opportunity to experience an aspect of Indigenous tradition first hand as they headed to Last Mountain Lake to pick sage. This experience was led by Indigenous Education Coordinator Jeff Cappo.

Jeff spoke about the importance of sage in Indigenous culture and explained how smudging can cleanse the spirit. Tobacco was placed along the grounds as an offering and permission was asked from Mother Earth prior to picking the sacred plant. The Judge Bryant staff spent the morning collecting the medicinal sage while the sun warmed the valley.

The experience was a way to reflect on and honour treaty relationships as folks made a connection to the land.
