During Tamil Genocide Education Week, we continue to learn how genocides impact our communities. We honour the innocent people who were displaced & those who lost their lives. We also recognize the lasting trauma & impact this genocide has on Tamil communities here in Toronto.

What is structured literacy? A good article that explains the basics- as an FSL teacher, it is a valuable approach that helps students acquire language awareness, understanding and application:

The outpouring of condemnation over the defacement of the Terry Fox statue in Ottawa is a stark reminder of how revered he is more than 40 years after his Marathon of Hope and untimely death at age 22. https://t.co/wa8TZBC2lw

This weekend, we have witnessed symbols of hate across Canada.

We cannot be silent about it.

These events remind us of the importance of educating about human rights and equity in our schools.

These aren't the only recent incidents of racism. They also won't be the last.

Each time they occur, people say "This isn't our Canada!"

Except it is. Racism exists in Canada.

And denying its existence is condoning racism.

It's all around us, if you're willing to look. (2/10)

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID.

Last week, the remains of 215 children were found at a former residential school. They were all victims of racism.

A few days ago, 4 people were murdered in yet another act of racism.

Keep reading. (1/10)

Schools are safe spaces for everyone.Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We all must follow the Ontario Human Rights Code that protects marginalized groups from discrimination and harassment.This is why flying the 🏳️‍🌈 is so important. #JunePrideMonth

[ONTSpecialNeeds @ONTSpecialNeeds]

Why do schools fly the 🏳️‍🌈Pride flag?
- It signals that schools are safe spaces for everyone
- It represents a celebration of diversity
-It is a visual reminder that schools welcome/support every student – regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation

Today, on Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, we honour the innocent people who lost their lives or were displaced and recognize the lasting trauma and impact this continues to have on Tamils here in Toronto and around the world.

This is just your daily reminder that high school students are still children that deserve love, compassion and empathy.

Today, twelve years after the end of armed conflict in Sri Lanka, we remember those who were killed or injured. We also offer our sympathies to the survivors, who suffered heartbreaking losses and endured unimaginable trauma - our hearts go out to you. https://t.co/YMIK5VKN43
