First of all, I want to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for your diligence and patience as we all do our part to slow down the spread of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which is dominating the news headlines and affecting Manitobans, can lead to increased anxiety among young people. Encouraging families and supporting our students as they live through this time of uncertainty is a priority.
