Vaping Information Sessions for Parents/Guardians

Dear HDSB parents/guardians,

The HDSB and Halton Region Public Health are hosting joint information sessions to raise awareness about the impact of vaping on youth and how parents/guardians can support their children.

Vaping is a fast-evolving trend that has attracted youth and created an unfortunate pathway to nicotine addiction and other negative health effects. At the information sessions, parents/guardians will gain a better understanding of vaping, including how to spot the risks, recognize the signs, talk to children about vaping and discover tools, strategies and resources to support their child.

Information Session Details

The sessions, hosted by Halton Region Public Health and school principals/vice-principals, will be held at four secondary schools across Halton. Each session will run from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. The sessions will deliver identical content and parents/guardians are encouraged to register for the session that best fits their schedule:

• Burlington: Nelson High School – Tuesday, June 3

The sessions will be led by Public Health Nurses from Halton Region Public Health who work to enhance the health of entire school communities by working collaboratively on policies, programs and building environments that prevent substance use/misuse and promote mental health. 

Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. Child minding for children 4 - 12 years of age (limited capacity) may be provided if we receive sufficient interest in this option. Transportation may be available for attendees who require it to travel from various areas within Halton to the conference. 

We look forward to seeing you there.
