In response to the surprising, disappointing and backwards decision of the @NHL to ban Pride Tape we have purchased 36 rolls that we will give out to schools across Alberta that are running an NHL Street program. Diversity, equality and inclusion matters in all schools and arenas

Whether at home, at school, or in medical settings, young people do best when they are recognized and accepted for who they are. We stand with the 2SLGBTQ+ community today and every day.
We’ve been at this a long time and continue to support human rights and expressions of gender. Thank you to staff across all of our school boards who work to create inclusive spaces where every student feels valued, seen and empowered (it’s 2023) https://t.co/1iyvAZFjEW

We can all play a role in supporting those experiencing a suicidal crisis or those bereaved by suicide whether as a member of society, as a child, as a parent, as a friend, as a colleague or as a person with lived experience. Create hope through action and be the light.
Educators we hope you had a great first day back! As you focus on creating a classroom community now is a great time to engage in a welcoming activity - Check out Day 2 of the #firsttendays for some ideas to start! https://t.co/MdGqtCUkgB
