I'm not sure what your timeline looks like, but ours needs some medicine.

Kudos to the TVDSB Equity and Inclusive Education team for all the hard work, collaboration and planning that went into today’s board-wide PD on Anti-Racism/CRRP. Very grateful to be included and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have for students, staff and community moving forward! Thames Valley DSB

Without the advocacy and contributions of Survivors, Sept. 30 would be just another day in the calendar. Survivors led us to this moment on the journey of reconciliation, while they have been on their own personal journeys of healing. See my #NDTR #NDTR2022 statement attached.
