This week is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. Bullying is a serious issue and unacceptable in any form. We’re committed to providing safe, healthy and inclusive environments for all students so they feel safe, nurtured, welcomed, engaged, respected and included.
National Aboriginal Veterans Day began in Winnipeg in 1994 to recognize Indigenous veterans who were not recognized in Remembrance Day activities, and is now celebrated in many communities across Canada.
The first week of November is #TreatiesRecognitionWeek We are continuing to deepen our understanding about treaties, treaty relationships, and the history and commitments made between Indigenous peoples and settlers @LaurierPs@Gr2Tweeters@PDSB_Libraries
Tomorrow is #OrangeShirtDay. Let's wear our orange shirts to honour the strength and resilience of the survivors, those who have perished and reaffirm our commitment, in the spirit of reconciliation, to ensure #EveryChildMatters.

Teaching students to recognize privilege isn't about feeling guilt or blame due to their identities. It's about examining the power people have in different situations—and helping them recognize opportunities to advocate for others.
