May is Speech and Hearing Month. Each year, Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC) dedicates the month of May to raising public awareness about communication disorders and the professionals who can help. Speech-Language Pathologists are highly-trained professionals who are focused on the prevention, identification and management of communication disorders. Many of us take our ability to communicate for granted. Yet the ability to speak, hear and be heard is much more vital to our everyday lives than most of us realize.
It's that time of year again for young historians in the Strait Region to attend the Strait Regional Heritage Fair. During the past several months, Grades 4 to 9 students presented their projects at local school fairs. Those students selected to participate in the 18th annual Strait Regional Heritage Fair are now busy putting the final touches to their projects. The Fair is scheduled for Friday, May 6, 2016, at the Mulgrave Memorial Education Centre. The awards ceremony will be held at 2:45 p.m.
