BC’s Education Minister, Rob Fleming, has announced $21 million in funding to go towards seismic upgrades at Holly Elementary and George Greenaway Elementary.

Students are returning to schools in the city today, with at least 1,000 more children expected. That means 28 more portable classrooms, bringing the total to 361.

Meanwhile, BC's teachers still don't have a deal, as the talks between the Teachers’ Federation and the province have been paused, with mediation set to continue on September 23rd.

That’s prompted the spokesperson for the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council to call for Surrey to be bargaining alone because of the size of the district.

It seems like more and more of us are thinking about including more plants in our diet. Even meat-eaters are having to think more nowadays about how we prepare meals for our vegan or vegetarian friends.

But where do you start? How do you find some inspiration to make meals that are healthy and taste good, when this is a whole new world for you?

My next guest can help with that. Her name is Desiree Nielsen - she’s a registered dietitian who we’ve featured on the show here before and you may recognize her from her many TV and radio appearances.

Her new book is called: ‘Eat More Plants: Over 100 Anti-Inflammatory, Plant-Based Recipes for Vibrant Living’. She’s here today to share a few of her ideas with us.

More than one in four Canadian children report feeling sad or hopeless for long periods of time, and around one in three are experiencing symptoms linked to mental distress each week, like headaches and stomach aches.

Those are some of the findings from a new report published today by Unicef, which looks at the wellbeing of kids in this country.

The report also finds that around a quarter of children go to bed hungry, and around the same number are being bullied.

It can be challenging for parents to navigate their children’s mental health. How can you tell when your child is experiencing a healthy level of grumpiness or dissatisfaction with having to go to school, and how can you tell when it’s something more serious?

School is back, but BC's teachers still don't have a deal.

BC Teachers’ Federation President, Teri Mooring, says this was exactly what she didn't want to happen.

But BC Education Minister Rob Fleming says he's confident the province and the teachers federation will come to a deal later this month.

BC’s teachers have been negotiating a new contract all summer, with a mediator getting involved earlier this month. The talks have been paused, with mediation set to continue september 23rd.
