The following Healthy Schools Day Resolution was approved by the Nova Scotia House of Assembly on Monday, April 11, 2011, Healthy Schools Day in Canada:

“RESOLUTION NO. 266

Whereas children spend 30 to 40 hours a week in school; and

Whereas schools, school boards, and governments have demonstrated an interest in school environments by reviewing and updating environmental practices and policies, creating displays for students and staff, and declaring school scent-free zones; and

Whereas April 11, 2011, is being recognized as Healthy Schools Day across Canada;

Therefore be it resolved that members of this House applaud school boards and staff on this Healthy Schools Day, as they continue to ensure our children have a safe and healthy learning environment.”
