Dear Minister McLean,
The Yukon T1D Support Network appreciates your department’s efforts in reaching out to us in May of 2022 for the purposes of developing Type 1 diabetes procedures or policies in schools. We had been working with the Director of Inclusive Policy and Practice but have not heard back from her since September, 2022. On November 15, 2022, we sent an email outlining our newest draft to her and again have not heard back. We assume that she is on a prolonged leave. Is there someone else that can help us get these policies crafted? The timeline that was originally presented to us in May of 2022 was to have them implemented in schools in September of 2022, but this timeframe has clearly passed. Can you please advise on how best to proceed?
Thank you kindly,
Marney Paradis, Yukon T1D Support Network
