Take Action in Secondary Schools
Acknowledgements
Production of Take Action in Secondary Schools has been made possible through a financial contribution from Health Canada.
Ophea wishes to acknowledge the Take Action Advisory Committee, the Writing Team, survey and concept test participants, and reviewers from the secondary school community for their contributions to the concept and writing of Take Action in Secondary Schools.
Over 200 participants were involved in the development of Take Action in Secondary Schools to ensure that the needs of the secondary school community were appropriately addressed. Representation from each region across Ontario (Northern, Central East, Toronto, East, South West, Central West, and Central South) along with representation from educators, public health, police, students, and additional key stakeholders was achieved. The extensive knowledge and experience these audiences provided has significantly contributed to the development of the resource.
