Plus, National Child Day is coming up on November 20, with this year marking the 30th Anniversary!
Celebrating 20 Years of the ASC
Over the past two decades, the Aboriginal Steering Committee (ASC) at HELP has continued to support a deeper understanding of the social, environmental, and cultural determinants of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis children’s health and wellbeing. Last month, we held a celebration for the ASC's 20th Anniversary at the First Nations Longhouse, honouring past and current members, and all of their contributions to HELP over the years.
Relationship-Building in Rocky Mountain School District
Child Development Monitoring System data are useful sources of information to support cross-sector early learning and child care discussions and partnerships. This month, we profile the collaborative approach in BC's interior Rocky Mountain School District to strengthening relationships between community child care providers and kindergarten teachers, and growing early learning and child care spaces across the district.
