Please remember to bring snacks for the bus ride and to dress in clothes that are appropriate for a formal performance at Stage West (Stage West prefers no shorts, t-shirts, or athletic wear). 

If you have the following, please bring: your phone, phone charger, and back-up power source. We will have all students contact their parents when the buses reach Suffield so pickup from the school is quick and easy. 

The purpose of this event is to promote career options in trades, technology and health to junior high students in grade 9. Students will have the opportunity to partake in 4 different hands-on sessions throughout the day to learn about all of the different careers. Students will be split into groups of 10 and will have an employee from MHC lead them around to the different sessions.

The goal of NAAW is to raise public awareness of barriers that prevent citizens with disabilities from full and equal participation in all aspects of their community and what may be done to correct these problems.

What is Red Shirt Day?

Photo ID: A group of 14 people, some standing, some seated in wheelchairs. All are wearing red t-shirts and clothing and smiling.

Red Shirt Day® (of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion) is a day when people across Canada come together and wear red to create a visible display of solidarity: to show their support for disabled people and their families, celebrate the achievements of disabled Canadians, and to pledge their commitment to help create a fully accessible and inclusive society.

Red Shirt Day is an Easter Seals initiative and was first celebrated in 2019. It takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year.

Anyone can take part in Red Shirt Day. Put on your favourite red shirt, take some photos and make a pledge to help improve accessibility and inclusion in your community. Then post your photos and your pledge on social media with the hashtags. #RedShirtDay #RedForAccessAbility
