During the week of November 16-20, 2020, we join school boards and community partners across Ontario to recognize Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week.

We know how important it is to work with students, parents, staff and community members to address bullying. We will do this through awareness, education and other measures that support us all in feeling safe and included.
