You are invited to the Safe Schools and Engaged Communities Forum taking place on 13 January 2015 at David and Mary Thomson CI and 15 January 2015 at Thistletown CI, both from 6:30 pm -8:30 pm.

In October 2014, a steering team was established to conduct an independent review into the circumstances surrounding the death of a student inside North Albion CI. In addition, the team is also reviewing how the Toronto District School Board can be responsive and current to best support safety and care for all students and staff, both before and after critical incidents.

As a part of this review, parents/guardians, students and community members are invited to participate in a Community Forum to discuss how to improve school and community safety.
