The Ripple Effect

It might sometimes feel as if you have little to no effect on the people around you. Quite the opposite is true, however! The small decisions we make every day – to laugh, to smile, to share a kind word – create an impact that spreads far and wide.

Celebrating Canada and Understanding its History

On July 1st, many people recognize and celebrate the birth of this territory that we now know as Canada. Before we honour and celebrate Canada, we should be mindful of its history and its Indigenous roots. All WRDSB schools are situated on land that either belongs to the Between The Lakes Treaty or the Haldimand Tract. It is our responsibility to understand the history of the land we are on and it is a first step to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
