Take Our Kids to Work Day (November 4, 2026)

On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Grade 9 students in Brandon School Division will join thousands of students across Canada for Take Our Kids to Work Day (TOKTW), Canada's leading career-exploration program. This year's theme celebrates the many different paths a career can take, and how every one of them can move a young person forward.

We need your help to make this day meaningful:

Parents & Caregivers

• We encourage parents and family members to bring their Grade 9 student to work with them for the day. Talk to your employer about hosting your child, and confirm you're working on November 4.
• Ask if your workplace can welcome other students who don't have a placement.
• The TOKTW registration form will open online on October 9. If you prefer a paper form, just ask your child's English teacher, then complete it and return it to them.
• Encourage your child to explore careers and ask questions!

Businesses & Nonprofit Organizations

• Open your doors to inspire the next generation.
• Showcase your industry and the many roles that make your organization thrive.
• Help students see the different paths that are possible!

Hosting a student is a small commitment with a big impact. It can spark a passion, build confidence, and shape a student's future.
