Week at a Glance:

Nov 2 - 8, 2024

Hello, Ward 7 Families:

I hope you had wonderful Halloween and Diwali festivities. The week ahead marks the start of Indigenous Education Month, National Treaties Week, and National Indigenous Veterans Day which provide an opportunity for valuable learning.

At the Planning and Priorities Committee meeting this past Wednesday, trustees approved the 2024-2033 Long Term Program and Accommodation Strategy which includes upcoming boundary change studies involving some Ward 7 secondary schools. More information will be included in my November newsletter.

The application periods for Early French Immersion and Central Student Interest Programs begin on Monday. My newsletter will also include an update on the implementation of fees for the International Baccalaureate program which is offered at Parkdale CI. On Wednesday, trustees meet for the November board meeting and as always, community members are welcome to attend the public meeting in person or to watch the live web cast.

Yours in community,

Debbie
