November is Indigenous Education Month at TDSB
November is Indigenous Education Month at TDSB
In November, we honour Indigenous Education Month at the TDSB. This month reminds us to centre First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives, histories and contemporary realities. In classrooms across the TDSB, it is an opportunity to learn about treaties, Indigenous leadership, achievements, and resistance. Over the course of this month, students, staff and community members recognize a number of important days to deepen knowledge, to learn together about our shared history, and to build stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.

First Nations, Métis and Inuit Days of Significance - Over the course of November, students, staff and community members recognize a number of important days to deepen knowledge and to build stronger relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples in Canada. This includes Treaty Recognition Week (Nov. 2-6), Inuit Day (Nov. 7), Aboriginal Veterans’ Day (Nov. 8), Louis Riel Day (Nov. 16), and an opportunity to Rock Your Mocs (Nov. 15-21).

Treaties Recognition Week
Treaties Recognition Week
In 2016, Ontario passed legislation declaring the first week of November as Treaties Recognition Week.
This annual event honours the importance of treaties and helps students and residents of Ontario learn more about treaty rights and relationships. By learning more about our collective treaty rights and obligations, we can create greater understanding and nurture these relationships.
Each year, students learn why treaties matter to all Ontarians. Indigenous Elders and knowledge keepers visit classrooms for Living Library events and video stories are shared in schools across the province. Because of restrictions around in-person gatherings, we are hosting virtual Living Library events in 2020.
TDSB Recognizes Hindu Heritage Month in November
TDSB Recognizes Hindu Heritage Month in November
~from Happenings @ TDSB
In 2016, the Government of Ontario declared the month of November each year as Hindu Heritage Month. Further to this, on April 18, 2018, the TDSB Board of Trustees voted to recognize the month of November as Hindu Heritage Month. Canadians of Hindu faith have greatly contributed to civic life in Canada for decades, and are a vibrant part of the growth and prosperity of Toronto, Ontario and Canada. November is an opportunity to celebrate the Hindu way of life, examine its impact and contributions to the world culture, and recognize values which promote compassion, mutual respect and inclusion – and hey, it is the birthplace of the number zero, without which the binary code in computers could not exist!
OM Shanti: Living Together in Peace The HHM Poster Challenge has begun for all K-12 @tdsb students. What does the theme mean to your students? Could their digital representations be one of this year's winners? All entries due by Fri. Nov. 6 by 3pm.

Student Equity Program Advisors (LC3)
What do SEPAs do?
As the TDSB continues its commitment towards inclusive and equitable schooling for all students, the Board recognizes, however, that certain groups in our society face multiple barriers due to factors such as race, gender, class, sexual orientation, gender expression, religion and exceptionality.
Student Equity Program Advisors provide a wide range of interactive leadership and equity resource supports for students and staff to help make our schools more equitable. Our role as Advisors is guided by the TDSB’s multi-year strategic plan and mandate on Inclusive Design.
