World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma and recognize the importance of mental health and well-being. This year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” reminds us of the importance of listening to and learning from those with lived experiences to help build more inclusive and supportive communities. At Sea to Sky School District, we recognize the importance of creating safe, caring and inclusive learning environments where everyone feels heard, valued and supported.

In the lead-up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, schools across the Sea to Sky School District came together to honour this important day in meaningful ways. Some schools hosted ceremonies, while others engaged in practices that grounded the community in reconciliation, fostered connections to the land, and supported learning through language, culture, and lived experience.
