Seal in a Smile campaign delivering dental care to Peden Hill Elementary students

The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation is giving students at Peden Hill Elementary a reason to have big smiles.

The Seal in a Smile campaign is returning this week.

The initiative is a collaboration between the College of New Caledonia, Northern Health, School District 57, and the Spirit of the North to provide essential dental care to local children who may otherwise face barriers to accessing oral health services.

The program brings CNC dental assistant students and instructors together with elementary students, creating valuable hands-on learning opportunities while delivering critical early dental care.

“We’re so proud to be part of this incredible partnership that helps bridge the gap in dental care for children,” said Spirit of the North CEO Aimee Cassie.

“Seal in a Smile gives positive first experience with dental professionals and empowers CNC students  to grow their skills while giving back. It’s exactly the kind of impact-driven initiative Spirit of the North is proud to support.”

The program will kick off at the College on Wednesday.
