Canada, the biennial YSS is an important tool helping schools and provincial and federal government
agencies across Canada assess youth substance use and related health behaviours and understand youth
perspectives on tobacco, alcohol, drugs, bullying, school connectedness, self-esteem, healthy eating and
physical activity. In Ontario, the YSS will be implemented by the University of Waterloo.
On November 7, 2012, students in grade 6 with parental permission will be asked to take part in the survey.
The school will receive a comprehensive and easy-to-read School Health Profile with Summaries of Results
for the School and Parents that includes your school’s key results, action items and resources for
administrators, teachers, parents and students.
The school will also receive a $100 honorarium in appreciation for our participation in the survey. To view

their hands often, especially:
 before and after handling food
 before eating
 after using the washroom
 after blowing their nose, sneezing or coughing
 after playing with pets
 after playing outdoors
 when their hands feel or look dirty
