🌱 Here We Grow Again! 🌱
Exciting things are growing at Village Union Public School!
Thanks to our donors and the team , students recently rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty installing two new garden beds that will soon be bursting with fresh vegetables. Through this hands-on experience, students learned about wicking systems, planting techniques, garden cultivation, environmental stewardship, and the journey from seed to harvest.

These garden beds are much more than a place to grow food, they’re outdoor classrooms where students develop valuable life skills, learn about sustainability, explore healthy food choices, and discover the rewards of patience, teamwork, and caring for the environment.

In the months ahead, the entire school community will benefit from the fresh produce grown right on school grounds. And the learning doesn’t stop when summer begins! The team will help care for and maintain the gardens throughout the summer months, ensuring that every vegetable harvested finds its way into the homes of students and families who can benefit from fresh, nutritious food.

A huge thank you to the staff and students at Village Union PS, and everyone helping to grow food, learning, and community….one garden bed at a time! 🌿🥕🍅

Wishing all of our incredible Elementary School soccer teams an amazing tournament day today! ⚽️☀️
Thanks to the generosity of our amazing Ignite Durham Learning Foundation community, we were able to help remove barriers to participation by providing over 50 pairs of shin guards, 42 pairs of cleats, and 25 pairs of soccer socks to students across Durham Region.
Extra-curricular activities like soccer do so much more than build athletic skills, they create confidence, belonging, teamwork, leadership, school engagement, and connection. When students have the opportunity to participate, they are more likely to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Today, we celebrate every student stepping onto the field with pride, determination, and school spirit. Good luck to all teams….play hard, have fun, and make memories! ⚽️💙
Also a huge THANK YOU to the educators that lead these amazing opportunities for our Durham kids!!!!

Members of our team were incredibly honoured to attend Mayor Roy’s not-for-profit roundtable this week alongside so many passionate community leaders committed to strengthening supports across Whitby and Durham Region.

These conversations matter. Collaboration, shared learning, and community partnerships are what help create meaningful change for children, youth, and families.

Thank you for bringing organizations together and creating space for important dialogue, learning, and connection 🩵

This is what looks like. 🩵

This week, I was pleased to host another roundtable with Whitby's not-for-profit organizations. These conversations are so important -- they help us better understand the challenges facing our community, and bring people together to collaborate on solutions.

A big thank you to lawyer Anna Naud and talent and technology strategist Ross Cadastre for sharing their expertise with us!
