Community Involvement Requirements and Procedures

As part of the diploma requirements, you must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement activities during your years in the secondary school program. Community involvement is designed to encourage you to develop awareness of the role you can play in strengthening your community.

    The procedures for completing the requirement include:

    •    Asking your DEC for a copy of the Community Involvement Form.
    
    •    Completing the required 40 hours towards your community involvement.
    
    •    Documenting the completion of each activity for submission to your DEC, who in turn, shall forward it on to the principal for final approval.

Community involvement activities may take place in a variety of settings including band offices, businesses, recreation centres, community halls, and informal settings. Be certain that all required documentation is dated, authorized, accurate, and complete.
