One of the initiatives that I was a part of was the Well-Being Flag. Seeking student voices into Equality, Diversity and leadership, a contest was held to create a theme for their voice. I’m proud to say Maddy from GSS was the winner.

Happy Family Day to our DSBN community! Family Day was first introduced in Canada in 1990 to give people a meaningful break during the long winter months and to encourage time for rest, connection, and well‑being. Ontario has been observing this day since 2008.

💗 Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗

Did you know? Valentine’s Day began as a Western Christian feast day honouring one or two early saints named Valentinus. Over time, the day became linked with themes of love and affection, a tradition that grew into the celebration we know today.
