Training service dogs can happen<br />
through high school<br />
At Seven Summits Centre for Learning,<br />
the grade eight and nine students<br />
complete a year-long “Rite of Passage<br />
Experience” project (R.O.P.E). This<br />
project introduces the students to new<br />
areas of study and skill practice as they<br />
work with community mentors. A<br />
project of special interest this year was<br />
Maddi Hampton’s dog training project<br />
where she learned how to teach dogs<br />
to become certified assistance animals<br />
for the Leash of Hope Assistance Dogs<br />
program.<br />
Maddi admits she may not have<br />
been inspired to do this if not for the<br />
R.O.P.E project. Now Maddi is working<br />
diligently with her second dog and<br />

may even see a future<br />
career in training<br />
these rescue pups.<br />
Using Leash of<br />
Hope methods, dogs<br />
are trained to be certified<br />
assistance dogs<br />
in the areas of autism,<br />
psychological, vision,<br />
mobility, and stability<br />
assistance. Maddi<br />
continues to work<br />
with Leash of Hope as a junior trainer.<br />
To begin, Maddi reached out through<br />
the Leash of Hope website, and shortly<br />
after met the two owners who started<br />
her training sessions. She learned what<br />
stages and tests<br />
the dogs would<br />
have to progress<br />
through to<br />
become certified<br />
assistance dogs<br />
and what her role<br />
as a junior trainer<br />
would be in this<br />
process. Most<br />
dogs are rescue<br />
dogs. Maddi’s<br />
first pup, Valor,<br />
and current pup,<br />
Hamlet, are both rescue<br />
dogs from Texas.<br />
Each level of training<br />
the dogs accomplish<br />
moves them<br />
closer to being placed<br />
with a person in need.<br />
Level one focuses on<br />
the basics where the<br />
dog learns to respond<br />
to commands. As<br />
they pass to level two,<br />
the dog learns specific<br />
skills. In level<br />
three, the dog specializes<br />
in a class of assistance: bigger<br />
dogs are generally mobility and stability<br />
dogs like guide dogs. Under Maddi’s<br />
coaching, her first dog moved into level<br />
three, and he is now being tested as a<br />
guide dog. Maddi’s current pup, under<br />
her training, has just passed level two<br />
testing.<br />
Maddi hopes this can be an opportunity<br />
to bring awareness and education<br />
to the community about assistance/service<br />
dogs and the need for supporting<br />
important organizations like Leash of<br />
Hope.<br />

Return to school recovery plan<br />
Yesterday Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside and Dr.<br />
Bonnie Henry announced that K-12 students will return to<br />
school for full time, in-person instruction in <strong>Sept</strong>ember. <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />
2021 will not be as close to near normal as we all had<br />
hoped, but it’s a different <strong>Sept</strong>ember than 12 months ago. While<br />
we have the Delta variant circulating, we also have vaccines.<br />
Of children ages 12-17, 72% have received their first dose/<br />
shot and 57% have received both shots/doses and are fully vaccinated.<br />
This number rises daily and BCCDC will be reporting<br />
on this in their updates before school begins. Read the media<br />
release, watch the recorded announcement and/or reference<br />
the Safe School website.<br />
There are 4 key documents parents/guardians should read/<br />
review:<br />
1) Return to School Recovery Plan (Please note there are no<br />
stages in the K-12 plan);<br />
2) Health & Safety Guidelines;<br />
3) BCCDC Guidance; and<br />
4) Protocols for Administrators which includes info on<br />
exposures, notices, communication.<br />
To ensure a healthy and safe return to school, updates have<br />
been made to the COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines<br />
(Health & Safety) for K-12 Settings, in alignment with<br />
the BCCDC COVID-19 Public Health Communicable Disease<br />
Guidance for K-12 Schools (documents noted above),<br />
including the authority for Medical Health Officers (MHO) to<br />
introduce additional regional measures specific to individual<br />
schools or school districts where community transmission<br />
rates are higher. Cohorts and strict physical distancing is no<br />
longer required.<br />
School districts must ensure heating, ventilation and air<br />
conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed, operated and<br />
maintained to Occupational Health and Safety and Work-<br />
SafeBC standards. General cleaning of schools, cleaning and<br />
disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces will be conducted<br />
at least once in every 24-hour period and when visibly dirty.<br />
Masks in K - 12<br />
Masks will continue to be required in all indoor spaces<br />
(including desks) for all K-12 staff, visitors (including parents<br />
and PACs) and students in Grades 4 to 12 in schools and on<br />
school buses.<br />
