Released on May 30, 2013
Beginning June 3, Saskatchewan residents will have the opportunity to discuss anti-bullying strategies and initiatives with Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Education (Anti-Bullying Initiative) Jennifer Campeau through in-person and online consultations.
“I am looking forward to hearing ideas from people across the province on how we can prevent and address bullying in our schools and communities,” Campeau said. “It is important to work together to find solutions, and although this is a busy time of year, I encourage people to contribute to this important discussion, either online or in person.”
Campeau will be holding public consultation sessions during the first two weeks of June in North Battleford, Prince Albert, La Ronge, Yorkton, Swift Current, Regina, Weyburn and Saskatoon. Residents will be able to participate in the online consultation from June 3 to 21.
The ideas and experiences shared during the consultations will help inform the development of an anti-bullying strategy for the Government of Saskatchewan.
