We are excited to host a vaccine clinic for our community on Saturday February 19, 2022 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

In light of the recent changes to the booster dose eligibility, in addition to adults ages 18+, students ages 12-17 years will be able to access their booster dose at the clinic this week so long as it has been 6 months or 168 days since their second dose at the time of vaccination.

TDSB Supports & Resources For Mental Health & Well-Being

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unexpectedly long and challenging journey for all of us, and everyone has experienced it differently. Increased accessibility to vaccines for all communities gives us reason to believe that better days are ahead. It is in this spirit of optimism and hopefulness that we are preparing for summer.

We recognize that there are many unknowns and much uncertainty this summer. As parents and caregivers, we may be wondering what we can do to help keep our children active and healthy and to support their mental health and well-being.

Within this guide, you will find a variety of culturally responsive resources and accessible activities to help make this summer a little easier for you and your family. Information on where and how to reach out for help is also included.
