There’s some four-legged magic happening in the hallways at Transcona Collegiate that creates — “Labracadabra!” — instant joy! Last November, Principal Anita Maharaj introduced an accredited facility dog (AFD) named Fiddle to the school. Since then, Fiddle, a blonde Labrador Retriever, has been “fetching” smiles as she travels the halls (and maybe a few treats too!). She also teaches staff and students alike to “paws” and reflect when they’re having a “ruff” day. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4uzOJbl

Music teacher Garth Rempel accepted the award on behalf of students and staff. Congratulations!
