NOVEMBER 25, 2021 -- F.W. Johnson Collegiate flies the Métis flag for the entirety of November in recognition of Métis Awareness Month.

In the classrooms this month, students continued to further their learning on Métis culture and finger wove their own mini sashes to wear for Louis Riel Day on November 16th. Both staff and students wore mini Métis sashes on their lapels as part of their ongoing acts of reconciliation to honour Louis Riel.

NOVEMBER 24, 2021 -- When École Massey staff were looking to make the entrance to the school more welcoming, Vice-Principal Maxine McKenzie-Cox shared some knowledge she received at a conference that focused on inclusion. The speaker stressed the positive impact that seeing one’s own language would have on visitors to any building.

The idea led to a collaboration with Regina Open Door Society, who already had the I’m Glad We’re Neighbours campaign up and running for Regina residents. A quick survey of students asking which languages were spoken at home meant adding other languages (including the ASL sign for “welcome”) to the 10’ by 4’ banner.

NOVEMBER 4, 2021 -- On September 22, 2021, more than 100 students from Balfour Arts Collective and Balfour Collegiate’s dance and performing arts programs in Regina came together to perform a flash mob.

They were proud to dedicate this performance to all of the hard-working healthcare workers in Saskatchewan.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 – The following article was written by Sara Salazar, teacher at Martin Collegiate.

For the last two years, I have had the absolute privilege of teaching the Fine Arts Drama 9 rotation as a temporary teacher at Martin Collegiate during an ever-hanging pandemic. As if starting a new career and precarious work during a global pandemic wasn't stressful enough, you can imagine creating authentic theatrical experiences for drama students has been an interesting challenge.
