The week of November 13-16 is Anti-bullying Week in the City of Yorkton. Members of St. Mary's School Community Council attended Yorkton City Council Monday evening to talk about local efforts underway and seek city support.
"St. Mary's staff and students will be taking part in this Canada-wide initiative and we are asking everyone to participate in the event. Together, our mission is to make bullying unacceptable for everyone, everywhere," said Dominique Holstein to council members.
A number of activities have been planned in Yorkton throughout the week including the raising of a flag at City Hall on November 13. Also at the school, activities will be taking place daily. Tuesday will feature opening ceremonies. Anti-bullying t-shirts will be distributed and children will be educated on the difference between bullying and an incident.
