Canadian Mental Health Week: May 5–11, 2025

Canadian Mental Health Week is an opportunity to raise awareness and inspire meaningful change. This year’s theme, “Unmasking Mental Health,” encourages us to look beyond appearances and recognize the full person behind the struggles. Many people living with mental health challenges feel the need to hide their experiences due to stigma—let’s work together to create a more understanding and supportive community.

May is Child Care Appreciation Month! Featured Photo

May is Child Care Appreciation Month!

May is Child Care Month! Sea to Sky School District acknowledges and celebrates the incredibly valuable work of all early childhood educators and responsible adults working across the school district. We are lucky to have school district and community-based professionals facilitating early learning programming in Infant and Toddler programs, Preschool-aged programs, StrongStart, Seamless Day, and Out of School Care programs on school grounds. We know that these educators provide safe, nurturing environments that foster a sense of belonging and support the development of social and emotional skills that are foundational in a child’s life. The patience and care that these educated professionals provide to children and their families is recognized and appreciated this month and every month throughout the year!

Please join us in acknowledging and celebrating the work of our child care staff and the positive impacts they have on children, families, schools, and our community!
