September 29, 2021 -- An Organizational Meeting of the Regina Board of Education was held September 28, 2021. Ms. Tara Molson was declared elected, by acclamation, to the office of Chairperson, effective immediately, and Mrs. Sarah Cummings Truszkowski was declared elected, by acclamation, to the position of Vice-Chairperson, effective immediately.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 -- In preparation for Orange Shirt Day on September 30^th, the students at Judge Bryant School wanted to share messages of hope and positivity beyond the walls of the classroom. To do this, they painted rocks a bright orange colour in honour of those who attended residential schools and the precious lives lost there, and then wrote thoughtful, inspirational messages.

Having these rocks placed throughout the area around the school is intended to inspire members of the community who might come across them. Reconciliation begins with relationship, and this is a way to start that.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 -- Regina Public Schools will participate in Orange Shirt Day on Thursday, September 30, 2021.

This day recognizes the harm done to generations of children by residential schools and is an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that every child matters. Orange Shirt Day also recognizes our commitment to reconciliation, anti-racism and Treaty education.
