Access zones now in place to protect kids at school

B.C.’s K-12 students and staff will be protected from harassing protesters as the Province enacts access zones around schools. 

“Every kid and teacher in our province has the right to go to school without being disrupted by aggressive or hateful protests,” said Premier David Eby. “Our government is taking action to protect kids and ensure schools remain safe spaces by establishing no-go zones for protestors. I want people who think it’s OK to intimidate or harass kids while they’re trying to learn or play at school to know that what you’re doing is now illegal.”

Two Abbotsford students accepted into competitive House of Commons Page Program

Two W.J. Mouat Secondary School students have been accepted into the prestigious House of Commons Page Program in Ottawa.

Michael Donohue and Marianne Garza will work in the House of Commons while they complete the first-year of their undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa.

Only 40 upcoming graduates are selected from across Canada, so to have two from the same high school is remarkable.

Fraser Health's Guide to Mental health and substance use impacts on youth

The guide to Mental health and substance use impacts on youth is brought to you by Fraser Health.

Youth is a time of growing, learning and changing. It can also be a time when behaviours may become more risky and youth may experiment with substance use. While not all youth will choose to use substances, many do experiment and some experience harms from their own or other’s substance use.
