September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

 

On this day, we honour the survivors of residential schools, the many children who did not return home,

and the families and communities whose lives and cultures have been damaged by the ongoing impacts of colonialism.

 

This day also serves as a reminder of the importance of reconciliation within our communities;

together, we can reaffirm our goal of repairing the legacy of harm done to Indigenous peoples.

 

May we reflect, learn, and grow in unity.

Today and every day.

Wishing everybody a wonderful first day of school!

As we welcome back the students today, we want to take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible, lasting impact that your dedication and passion truly make in the student’s lives and in the workplace as a whole.

Here’s to a fantastic new school year ahead filled with collaboration and success, and let’s continue to support each other in making a difference!
