We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional unceded ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

General Announcements

  • Today please remember to be kind, respectful and inclusive to each other in our hallways, classrooms and community. 
  • Asian Heritage Month - Since the late-1700s, people of Asian origin have made important contributions to Canada’s history and identity. Each year, as part of its annual Asian Heritage Month campaign, the Government of Canada encourages all people in Canada to learn about how people of Asian origin have and continue to help shape Canada as we know it today. Check out our website for just a few examples of the numerous diverse communities of Asian heritage which trace their ancestry back to more than 40 different countries, each with their own unique history and lived experiences.
  • Jewish Heritage Month - During this month, we recognize and honour the bravery and resilience that Jewish communities have shown throughout history. Diversity is one of Canada’s greatest strengths and the participation of Jewish Canadians in our country’s civic life is of tremendous value. This vibrant community has contributed to every aspect of life in Canada, from business and politics to arts and culture, sports, science, and much more.
  • Sadly, Jewish Canadians have faced and continue to face horrendous acts of racism, discrimination, xenophobia, and violence. Antisemitism is an ongoing problem in our world, and its harmful effects continue to hurt Jewish individuals and communities around the globe. This is a month to reflect on the fact that while progress has been made, Jewish people in Canada continue to face discrimination every day. Let us ensure that all Jewish Canadians feel they belong and can contribute meaningfully to operational success.
