Updates to the Diabetes Medication Administration Form
The Ministry of Health and Nursing Support Services (NSS) have made changes to the Diabetes Medication Administration form (completed by physicians), which is part of the student’s NSS delegated diabetes care plan. This change only applies to new NSS care plans; schools do not need to update existing NSS care plans. The updated Diabetes Support Plan can be found on the Ministry’s diabetes care website.

Great Big Crunch
You are invited to be part of the Canada-wide Great Big Crunch (GBC) on March 9 at 10:00 am PT. GBC is a moment of “anti-silence” where participants bite into crunchy local produce in unison. Invite your classroom, your whole school, or colleagues to crunch together in celebration of healthy, B.C. grown, school food.
