Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they learn to read and write. We know that children get ready to read years before they start school. You can help your baby and toddler learn important skills now so they can become good readers. You are the key to helping your child get ready to read • We encourage early literacy when we talk, read, sing and listen to our children. • Children learn best when they are in a good mood, and you know their moods best. • Children learn by doing things and they love doing things with you. • Give them opportunities to play and do. • Read with your child everyday. • Provide a space where books are available everyday. • Choose books that suit the age of your child – board books for babies, picture books for toddlers and story books for preschoolers. • Provide books that have topics that interest your child. • Ask your public library for the names of books to read to babies and toddlers. • Ask about library programs that you and your child can enjoy together.

  • The Brampton Mall, from Fishing to Tobogganing – the Stories Are Here
    © Copyright 2009 Brampton Library Acknowledgements Through Our Eyes – History, Community, and Diversity is a project designed to document Brampton’s local history through the eyes of the people who have lived it and are living it still. In this booklet, seniors share their memories of growing up in Brampton, or moving here from near or far away. They talk about the changes they have seen over the years, and of the highlights that stand out most in their recollections. From floods to flowers, Dick Smith’s pond to the Brampton Mall, from fishing to tobogganing – the stories are here. Brampton Library would like to thank all of the authors who submitted their stories for inclusion in this book, as well as all of the seniors who told their stories on camera in the Through Our Eyes video interviews, which are available through Brampton Library as well as being viewable online (for more information see www.bramptonlibrary.ca). Special thanks go to Brampton Library staff members Pam Martin and Elizabeth Patterson, and to the volunteer project committee for their contributions: Swetha Christabel, Everton Dixon, Tristan Irvine, Francine Labelle, Vera Macdonald, Saniya Tariq and Madonna Vas Rodrigues. This project was made possible by the financial support of the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program.

  • Immunization of School Pupils
    Immunization of School Pupils Act Estimated Coverage & Non-Medical Exemption Rates, By School 2018-19 School Year Immunization of School Pupils Act Estimated Coverage & Non-Medical Exemption Rates, By School 2018-19 School Year Summary This document summarizes the estimated coverage rates and non-medical exemption rates by school for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR) and for Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio vaccines (DTP) for children attending school in the Region of Peel for the 2018-19 school year. Estimated coverage rates are not the same as immunization coverage rates. Overall for the 2018-19 school year: • the average estimated coverage rate across all Peel schools was 94.6% for MMR. • the average estimated coverage rate across all Peel schools was 90.8% for DTP. The difference in DTP rates compared to MMR (combined) is due to the additional requirement for an adolescent vaccine dose for diphtheria and tetanus. • the average non-medical exemption rates for MMR and for DTP were 1.8%. Background In Ontario, the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires children attending school to be vaccinated or have a valid exemption for the immunizations as described in Regulation 645. This legislation is important to protect children from vaccine preventable diseases and helps to decrease incidence of disease or outbreaks. Region of Peel – Public Health (‘Peel Public Health’) staff assess immunization records for one of the fastest growing populations in Ontario. Records for over 250,000 students, who attend a school located in the Region of Peel, are assessed every school year. According to the legislation, parents must provide records of immunization to public health; or if applicable, provide the necessary documentation for a medical or non-medical exemption (i.e.
