Black History Month

In February, we celebrate Black History Month. During this time every year, Canadians are invited to take part in events that honour the achievements and contributions of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have helped to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation we know today. At Owen we will continue to learn about the experiences of many inspirational people in history by sharing this information in our classrooms, library and over the morning announcements.

Medic Alert 

Thanks to generous donors and supporters, the MedicAlert No Child Without program has protected over 66,000 children since 2006. No Child Without is offered free of charge to children ages 4 to their 14th birthday through over 6,000 participating public and Catholic schools across Canada.

If your child is attending a participating school, simply follow the steps below to enroll:
Step 1: Complete this online form to receive a unique bar code and PIN or pick up an enrollment brochure from your child’s school.
Step 2: Visit the enrollment page and enroll online or call 1-877-282-5378 (Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST).

After you complete the enrollment process, your child’s MedicAlert protection (a $60 annual value service plan) begins immediately. Your child will receive their free MedicAlert ID (a $39 value), shipped by Canada Post directly to your home, in two to three weeks.
