Community Threat Assessment Protocol Signing Ceremony

This afternoon, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed for a Community Threat Assessment Protocol. This protocol is the first in the area which allows for the sharing of information in the face of threats within the school community. This powerful document allows the sharing of information between the Westshore RCMP, the Vancouver Island Health Authority, the Ministry for Children and Families, Child Youth Mental Health and the School District. This year-long endeavour was led by Assistant Superintendent Dave Betts and authored by Dr. Doug Agar. Signatories on the MOU included; Mark Fisher (RCMP), Cheryl Damstetter (VIHA), Patti Simmons (MCFD/CYMH) and Board Chair Wendy Hobbs (SD#62). – Jim Cambridge
