Our MPs Visit

On Tuesday, November 8th, the Member of Parliament for Brampton South - Mrs Sonia Sidhu - paid a visit to our school. Her visit is part of the Bring Your MP to School Day initiative by UNICEF Canada. The aim is to have children’s voices and concerns heard by parliamentarians to advance the civic education of Canada’s youngest citizens and help inform decisions that affect youth. 

Having children engaged with the political process and having their voices heard is vital to having healthy communities and a strong democracy. Thanks Mrs Sidhu!
