Dear Parents and Guardians,
The safety and well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance to Near North District School Board (NNDSB). The board’s safe schools and program team works diligently to ensure that everyone who comes to school may learn and work in a safe environment.
A community organization has announced the potential implementation of a safe injection site in the vicinity of Chippewa Secondary School. This issue is likely to draw much media attention and scrutiny in the community.
Supervisory Officer Gay Smylie, whose portfolio includes safe schools, assures NNDSB families that the safe schools team will continue to monitor the situation. Although the board has no control over an outside organization’s use of their property, NNDSB can work to ensure that people in our buildings remain as safe as possible.
Thank you,
Near North District School Board
