Provincial Fire Marshal Visits the ICE Centre

The ASD-N Miramichi ICE Centre is a Career Education Centre created through a partnership between Anglophone North School District and NBCC Miramichi. The Centre focuses on providing a range of career-focused courses for high school students across the district.

ASD-N continues to develop programs that align with labour market needs and offer students meaningful education and training. These courses are designed to help students build skills that connect directly to opportunities available here in New Brunswick.

One of the programs offered to Miramichi area high school students is Intro to Fire Fighting. Students in this course develop the skills and knowledge needed to work safely and effectively as part of a fire-service team. The learning includes classroom instruction, practical exercises and field experiences. Students also explore Fire Services in New Brunswick along with various career and volunteer pathways.

Today, students in the program welcomed Provincial Fire Marshal Mike Lewis, Superintendent Dean Mutch and program partners. Visitors had the chance to see the students demonstrate what they have learned so far and hear their reflections on this innovative program, which is the only one of its kind in the province.

ICE programs continue to grow and are now offered in Miramichi, Rexton, Bathurst, Campbellton, Natoaganeg, Esgenoopetitj and Elsipogtog.

K-5 Student Wellness and Education Survey

The New Brunswick Health Council is conducting the 2025-26 Student Wellness and Education Survey in all public schools across the province throughout November. As part of this process, a survey is being sent specifically to parents and guardians of students in kindergarten through grade 5.

This survey collects important information about student wellness, including social and emotional development, physical health, experiences at school, and life in the community. The feedback shared by families helps schools, districts, and partners across New Brunswick strengthen programs and supports that contribute to student well-being.

Parents and guardians of K-5 students will receive a link to the survey directly from ASD-N. We encourage families to complete it, as your voice plays an important role in helping create positive learning environments for all students.


FAQ:

HOW DOES THE NBHC PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

All information collected through this survey is anonymous.  No names are associated with the surveys, so the answers to a survey cannot be connected to a student. To ensure privacy, we’ve assigned each participant a unique, random code. Survey results will be analyzed and reported collectively, without revealing individual responses. Additionally, the survey adheres to the privacy laws of New Brunswick under the Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act

WHEN WILL THE SURVEY RESULTS BE AVAILABLE?

All provincial, zone, sector, district, and community results are available on the NBHC website in the spring following the survey administration. School results are also distributed to school administrators in the spring.
