Families of children in kindergarten to Grade 9 in the public school system can take school supplies shopping off their Back to School To Do list. The provincial government is investing $790,000 to provide free school supplies for the 2022-23 school year for K-9 students. Prior to the beginning of the school year, school supplies will be delivered to schools. Parents are reminded that students will still need to bring their own indoor shoes, backpacks, lunch bags, and where applicable; calculators and headphones.
