When it comes to Indigenous literature, people shouldn’t think of of it as a branch. In the lands of Indigenous people, it is the tree that other literatures have grown from. Our literature takes many forms and it must be honoured. FNMIEAO.com Waubgeshig Rice loving these points of reflection

Remembrance Day Nottawasaga Pines is one of my favourite days of the year. The strong connection to and respect for the military makes this ceremony extremely impactful. Our student participants are excellent representatives who make us all proud. Thank you to all who serve #LestWeForget

Thank you for all YOU do to support our students. I am honoured and humbled to receive this recognition. I’m only a small part of a much bigger puzzle and couldn’t do it without my colleagues’ support. The students I’ve taught have had a profound effect on my life.

Thank you to my OSSTF colleagues for your support and recognition. I am incredibly honoured, grateful and humbled. You can’t be a teacher without students. And without the “team”, teamwork is just work. Every colleague and student has changed my life. Thank you.

Excited to be at the slo-pitch invitational, watching 15 teams from Simcoe County District School Board and Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. We’re proud to be supporting youth mental health initiatives while having fun and learning new skills.
