In June, we commemorate Indigenous Peoples Month (National Indigenous History Month) to recognize the heritage and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. As we look at the history, we must work towards reconciliation through peaceful and respectful relationships.

During Pride Month, we recognize and celebrate Two Spirit & LGBTQIA+ contributions and identities, and the allies who stand in solidarity. It's also a time of action; a time to raise awareness about the hate and violence toward Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people and communities.

Environment Canada has issued a Special Air Quality Statement that covers the Hamilton area. As a precaution, we will be keeping students indoors on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, and will continue to monitor air quality over the course of the week. Read more: hwdsb.on.ca/blog/environme…

Canada Day is a chance to celebrate the values that our nation aims to uphold, while also reflecting on moments where we have failed to do so. As we gather with family and friends, let's continue to strive for a Canada where all feel loved and accepted.
