NOVEMBER 18, 2022 -- November 20th is National Child Day, a day to recognize the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and to recognize and honour children and youth in Canada.

To celebrate National Child Day, the Saskatchewan Advocate for Children and Youth, together with its Youth Advisory Council, created a video about the importance of the day and invited classrooms across the province to participate in a group challenge to help spread the word about children's rights.

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 10, 2022 -- Raising awareness and engagement in local democracy, Local Government Week (#LGWSK) will again be officially proclaimed in the province of Saskatchewan, for the week of November 14th to 20th. Please join us in recognizing and raising awareness about local governments.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 -- CAA is reminding everyone to plan for a safe Halloween! Please consider these safety tips if you’re adventuring out this weekend and on Halloween night.

Trick or Treaters - See and be Seen:

- Choose costumes that are bright at night, and don’t obstruct children’s vision and hearing.

- Trick or treating in groups is always a smart idea. It’s safer and groups are more visible to drivers.

- When crossing the street, use designated intersections and crosswalks. Be sure to stop, look, listen and think.

- Use reflective tape on costumes and have children carry a flashlight for easy visibility.

- Use makeup instead of a mask to allow for better vision.
