Students at École publique Foyer-Jeunesse and École secondaire Hanmer in Hanmer held a flag-raising ceremony in honour of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2.
In light of legislative changes regarding those on the autism spectrum, the CSPGNO see the anniversary as an opportunity to demonstrate the board's commitment to providing dedicated support and services to families.
In addition to celebrating those on the autism spectrum and their many contributions through the ceremony, group activities and a hot lunch, Tuesday's event is a valuable opportunity to learn about the atypical challenges faced by these families and to raise awareness for these challenges.
