March 3, 2021 -- At the meeting of the Regina Board of Education on March 2, 2021, current trustees personally thanked former trustee Jay Kasperski for his four years of service with the Board, and Chairperson Adam Hicks presented him with a plaque.

Trustees who worked with Jay spoke about his meticulousness and attention to detail, especially when it came to numbers and matters financial. His tireless dedication to identifying and addressing student transportation issues was also noted.

What does the term “champion” mean?

Champions are people who, regardless of their role in the organization, promote positive mental health and well-being in the workplace. They are individuals who are passionate about helping colleagues understand that mental health is an important issue for everyone, and it’s okay to talk about it! Champions are also individuals who speak up and challenge false stereotypes and myths, as well as challenge language that can be hurtful and disrespectful.

Mental health champions help to support the work of the Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy. They see themselves working alongside the Mental Health and Well-Being Working Group in promoting awareness, engaging in mental health conversations and action.

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.
