The Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board (YWCHSB) is proud to invite your students to participate in the all new >Safety Culture Contest! The contest is a chance for Yukon students to come up with creative ways to show what physical and psychological safety means—at home, school, work or play.
The theme of this year’s contest is “promoting respectful and kind behaviour at home, school, work and play.”
Ask your students to think creatively about how they integrate safety into their lives. Students can enter creative projects from any cultural genre, from film to literary arts, plastic arts to music. Entries could be a song, a video, a sculpture, a poster, or any other project that promotes respectful and kind behaviour during everyday activities.
There are a lot of incredible prizes—ski passes, camping passes, CGC passes and gift certificates at a number of local businesses—all aimed at encouraging families to spend time together doing healthy activities and getting involved in the local community.
Students can enter one of three categories: Kindergarten to Grade 3, Grades 4 to 7 or Grades 8 to 12. There are first, second and third prizes for each age category.
All entries have to be submitted by 5 p.m. on April 16, 2021, and winners will be notified on May 7, 2021.
Visit wcb.yk.ca/contests for prize descriptions and entry details.

Firstly, I wanted to inform you of a variety of events we are hosting this February for prospective students and their families. We wanted to put together a variety of information sessions that will allow students to connect with members of the Xaverian community, ask questions, and learn more about the opportunities that await them at StFX. The schedule is as follows, and each event is hyperlinked with the appropriate registration page. Students will need to register (for free) to receive the event link that allows them to attend. All of the dates and registration links are on our website, but I have also copied them below for convenience:
February 9th @ 7PM AST – Scholarships/Financial Aid
February 10th @ 7PM AST– StFX At A Glance
February 16th @ 7PM AST– Faculty of Business
February 17th @ 7PM AST– Faculty of Science
February 18th @ 7PM AST – Faculty of Arts
February 23rd @ 7PM AST – Residence/Food Services
February 25th @ 3:30 AST – Student Services
All of these events will be held on Zoom Webinar, with the exception of >StFX At A Glance. This session will be held on our StFX University Facebook page as a Facebook Live Event, so registration is not necessary. This session will cover all of the high-level information that prospective students should know.
To help with advertising these events, we have made an official event graphic which I have attached to this email. If you are able to spread the word about these upcoming events to your students, it would be greatly appreciated.
I also wanted to let you know that our Major Scholarship Application Package is now active. Students can access the application here. Students must apply to StFX, submit their first semester Grade 12 transcripts, as well as submit their major scholarship application package by March 1st to be considered for these major awards.
Lastly, I wanted to let you know that I am available for virtual visits – whether it be a presentation to a group of students, one-on-one meetings, etc. I know that students often have many questions about next steps this time of year and would love to schedule something if you are interested. 
Thank you again for your help in spreading the word about our February Information Month, and we hope to see many students from your school at the various events!
Have a great weekend,
 
Rebecca

UNB is currently offering to waive the $65 application fee for current grade 12 students who attend a virtual event, a meeting with a recruiter, or a virtual campus tour. These are great opportunities for students to learn more about UNB, our programs, the application process, scholarships, residence, and life in New Brunswick.
 
Virtual Events-
Students who attend a virtual event can also take advantage of accelerated admissions. This allows students to hear back about a decision from our admissions office with 24 hours of attending an event. To learn more about the steps for this process, use the virtual events link above.  Here are descriptions of the events we are offering:
 
UNB 101 is an overview of our academic programs, New Brunswick and our application process.

First-year Fundamentals is all about next steps, the transition from high school to university, and what first year as a UNB student may look like.  

Faculty Nights are designed to offer an in-depth look into the academic programs. Whether students already decided, or are still unsure what they want to study, these events will highlight the opportunities that await. 
 
One-on-one Meetings- https://calendly.com/studentrecruitment/shoba
I love getting the chance to meet with students to hear about their interests and answer their questions. Students can book a meeting with me using the link above or they can reach out through email or phone.
Email- shoba.gunaseelan@unb.ca
Cell- 506-230-2437
 
Virtual Campus Tour
Attending a campus tour will offer a  better picture of the Fredericton and Saint John campuses. During the tour, they will be able to view classrooms, residence, meal hall, and much more.

 
I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks 😊
