Waterloo Region Youth Council – Looking for Youth Councillors

Posted January 30, 2018

In early 2017, Minister of Parliament Bardish Chagger created the Waterloo Riding Youth Council, comprised of 30 Waterloo youth aged 16-25. The purpose of this council is to help Minister Chagger understand youth perspectives on political issues affecting our community, give youth a place to voice their opinions, and to engage youth in politics.

The time commitment for councillors is approximately 1 hour per week of independent work on projects and event planning, and one meeting per month with Minister Chagger and the rest of the council. We are looking for youth who are passionate about issues in Canada, who have a diversity of life experiences, who are involved in our community, and who can bring unique perspectives to Minister Chagger and the council.

Applications for the 2018-19 council are now open – due February 11, 2018, at 23:59.  Follow the link below to apply.

Application Link: https://goo.gl/forms/r4tIwfR4tH5cmQHD3

Please contact Ms. Chagger’s office if you have any questions – 519-746-1573

Exams & Feb. 2nd PD Day – Severe Weather Info

Posted January 23, 2018

The purpose of this message is to clarify expectations and the impact that a severe weather day would have on the Semester I exam schedule and the February 2, 2018 PD day. 

When any WRDSB buses are cancelled in any geographic area of the Waterloo Region (Kitchener, Waterloo, Baden, Elmira, Cambridge), the exam schedule in all secondary schools will be postponed.

The February 2, 2018 PD day will not be moved if a severe weather day occurs leading up to this date (moving the PD day has a significant impact system-wide).

When a severe weather day occurs during the formal exam schedule (January 26 to February 1, 2018), all exams will be shifted forward one day (i.e. the exam schedule for Friday, January 26 would be shifted to Monday, January 29). 

The first day of semester 1 is scheduled for Monday, February 5th.
