Achoo! Respiratory season is upon us and it’s time to get your 12+ preteens and teens immunized. They can get both their flu and COVID vaccines at your local pharmacy.

Check to see if they meet the eligible criteria for a free COVID vaccination. This includes:

+ Diabetes type one

+ Disabilities (like Down syndrome, learning or developmental disabilities)

+ Mental health disorders (limited to mood disorders, schizophrenia and spectrum disorders)

+ Obesity

Otherwise, the COVID vaccine is $100 per dose/series.

Sniffly or sneezy? It’s that time of year again to get your kids immunized for respiratory virus season.

If your kiddos are under the age of 12, you’ll need to book an appointment with a public health clinic for their COVID vaccines. If they’re five or older, you can take them to a pharmacy for the flu vaccine. Littles under five will need to get their flu vaccine at a public health clinic.

Check to see if your child meets the eligible criteria for a free COVID vaccination. This includes:

+ Diabetes type one

+ Disabilities (like Down syndrome, learning or developmental disabilities)

+ Mental health disorders (limited to mood disorders, schizophrenia and spectrum disorders)

+ Obesity

Otherwise, the COVID vaccine is $100 per dose/series.

Fall is a great time of year to refresh your emergency kit with warm clothing and replace anything that has expired.

Going over your household plan and updating your kit with your kids is also way to start talking to them about emergencies.

Remind them that if an emergency happens, someone will be there to help and there are people they can count on, like firefighters, police and emergency response workers.

Talk with your kids about who they can call for help and create an easy-to-find list of trusted grown-ups they can call in case of a crisis.

Thank you, coaches.

This National Coaches Week, we’re celebrating the dedicated coaches across Alberta who show up for athletes, teams and families every day.

From the first practice to the final whistle, coaches do more than teach the game. They build confidence, encourage teamwork, create lasting memories and help athletes of all ages feel supported.

Together, you are not only developing athletes, but you are also strengthening communities and bringing pride to Alberta.

Parents know how much the right learning environment matters.

This school year, more Alberta students will have access to modern, welcoming classroom spaces designed to help them learn, grow and feel supported.

With nearly 90,000 more students over the past four years, families are seeing firsthand why new classroom space is so important.

From new schools to modular classrooms, we are creating more room for students to connect with teachers, build friendships and discover what they’re capable of.

Because every child deserves space to learn, explore and dream big.
