Regina Public Schools Commissions Mural

MARCH 17, 2022 -- Regina Public Schools is committed to the mental health and well-being of all employees and students. The school division and the Regina Board of Education place a priority on diversity as critically important to our students, staff and culture. In the fall, a number of staff at Division Office, as well as the Mental Health and Well-Being Working Group, identified that the long north hallway was a blank canvas that needed to be bright, inspirational/morale lifting, diverse, inclusive and reflective of Regina Public Schools’ Shared Values, mission and priorities. As a result, the staff formed a committee and set the wheels in motion for a collaborative word collage, various Shared Values logos and a wall mural.
