November 18-22 was officially designated as Anti-Bullying Week across the country and in Saskatchewan. The week's theme was 'The Future is Ours: Safe, Fun and Connected.' It calls on young people from across the nation to take the lead on creating a future without bullying - using new technologies to promote positive communication rather than being held back by cyberbullying.
"Bullying and cyberbullying affect the health and well-being of many children and youth across our province and our country," Education Minister Don Morgan says. "The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to working youth, teachers, school division administrators and community organizations to build safe environments for children at school, in their communities and online."
