Provocations we have been using to guide our conversations over the past few days around #215children - we will continue to speak about what action looks like as Treaty People. HDSB Indigenous Rights and Education

Ss have been working on telling their stories using Royal Ontario Museum #MyPandemicStory as a guide. Today a few shared their incredibly moving work. Their stories are so important. We look forward to submitting pieces for consideration for the fall exhibition Viola Desmond Public School #PBL

A hateful targeted attack on a Muslim family just out enjoying a walk. Thinking of our Muslim families at Viola Desmond knowing there is pain in our community. We are here for you and stand beside you.

Today we centred the voice of Wali Shah as we continue to deal with emotions, be in community and support Muslim students/families in our class. We also listened to Wali on Q w/ Tom Power reflect & perform his poem ‘Home’ once again. TY for this Wali Shah

Each ribbon has a message of solidarity, love, and support from Viola Desmond Public School students & staff for our Muslim community after the tragic events this week. We see you and we stand with you 💚 Come by and hold space with us, act on your support, and attach a message. Pls RT
