Youth Ottawa
The closure includes regular school day activities, night school, Co-op, OYAP, dual credit courses and home instruction as well as extra-curricular activities, field trips, clubs and testing activities planned for today, December 4th.
It also includes extended day programs operated by the OCDSB and some operated by third-party providers (please confirm with your provider). All community use of school permits for December 4th are cancelled. There will be no school bus transportation and students cannot go to school.
This decision comes in response to an announcement by OSSTF that it will be going ahead with a one day walkout, after an agreement was not reached at central bargaining tables. Schools will reopen and all programs will resume on Thursday, December 5, 2019.
In our conversation, we discussed modern agile, tech for good, and complex problem solving.
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Our Youth Engagement Coordinator, Jude, and community artist, Hasina Kamanzi, @ha.ha.ha.sina have been supporting the students as they discuss the topic of representation and what it means to them as students from diverse backgrounds.
"Over a few weeks/months we (the social changemakers) wanted to make something to represent people who aren’t usually shown or talked about in the media. We covered topics such as 2SLGBTQ+, Asian representation, disability and mental health, Muslim students, Black Lives Matter, and more."
See the whole piece at our upcoming Youth Action Showcase on December 17th!
