Student Accident Insurance
Every Year there are a number of students who get injured at school, and out of school. Please follow the link for information on Student Accident Insurance. The Peel District School Board strongly supports families taking advantage of this optional insurance. The insurance is provided by a third party provider, with no ties to PDSB.

You can search for places by municipality, postal code or material.
