This event will provide families with a variety of workshops focused on health, well-being, and cultural diversity. Workshops are 35-40 minutes in length and each session will cater towards a specific age group of students. Workshop topics include equity in education, managing stress, vaping, Indigenous art and much more. Community partners and resources will also be available.
