In November we celebrate #HinduHeritageMonth and take time to learn about and celebrate the contributions of Canadian Hindus to Ontario's social, economic, political and cultural fabric.

This year #HolocaustEducationWeek learning at #YRDSB will focus on dispelling the misinformation that fuels antisemitism & hatred. We also acknowledge that POC, the Romas, people with physical disabilities & LGBTQ+ peoples, among others, were targeted & murdered by the Nazis.

We would like to wish those celebrating #Diwali a safe and happy celebration.

Today on #IndigenousVeteransDay, we give thanks to the many Indigenous veterans for their service to this country. Their sacrifices and contributions will not be forgotten. ow.ly/O0fi50GIs7W
