Today, on June 3, we recognize Red Shirt Day, a national day of action for accessibility and inclusion.

Led by Easter Seals Canada’s Red Shirt Day movement, this day encourages people across Canada to wear red, show support, and take action to remove barriers for individuals living with disabilities.

In Ontario alone, over 2.6 million people live with a disability. This reminds us of the importance of accessibility and inclusion. It is also an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contributions, leadership, and achievements of individuals in our schools, workplaces, and communities.

June is Pride Month! A celebration of the diversity, joy and contributions of Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ communities. Across our schools and communities, Pride is an opportunity to come together, show support and uplift one another. It also connects us to an important history.

Pride actually began as a protest—a brave movement where people stood up, raised their voices, and fought for the right to be treated with fairness, kindness, and respect. Pride is a meaningful reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe and valued for exactly who they are as we continue to foster environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their authentic selves, this month, and throughout the entire year!
