Kenora School Boards Hosts Mental Health Symposium

Creating Mentally Healthy Schools...that's the theme of a forum taking place in Kenora today.

School board officials from across the region are taking part in the day-long session.

Superintendant of Education with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, Joan Kantola says they hope to make it an annual event.

Kantola says all eight mental health leads employed by school boards in northwestern Ontario are getting a chance to meet together to share resources and some of their best practices.
