Resources include calling "211", Canada's primary source of
information on government and community based health and social services.
"211" is both a helpline and online data base of Ontario's
community and social services. "211" is answered and updated by
highly-trained specialists.
We
welcome parents to peruse these resources, attend our School Council meetings and
contact the school if you have any concerns.
