Great job UHS! 95% of kids aged 16-17 are vaccinated and 87% of kids aged 12-15 are vaccinated in our area! 🙌🏽

@kaniehtiio @sarafaulkner I like the idea of renaming this lesson in CHC/CHV the “kanehsatake resistance” instead of the “oka crisis” - saw this point being made elsewhere on twitter today.

I don't need a Canadian politician to speak Mohawk. I need a Canadian politician to honour treaties and fund First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities at the same rate they fund non-Indigenous communities, including funding water treatment plants and all related infrastructure.

Dear Teachers,
Always remember that your words, kindness and compassion have meaning and are being heard, even when you don’t realize it. Ss need adults they can come and talk to, who will be available to them and who can be flexible when they are in need. Keep up the hard work!
