June marks Indigenous History Month! It's a time to celebrate, honour and learn more about the incredible accomplishments, heritage and traditions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. It's also a time to recognize the injustices and trauma of the past and present, and to further our commitment to the 94 Calls to Action, allyship & solidarity. Go to Resources

We mourn for the 215 children who never made it home from the Kamloops Indian Residential School, and we hold space collectively for the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc community, and Indigenous communities across Canada. For survivors, families and communities, support is available if you need to seek help, counselling or reach a 24/7 crisis line: click here. 

The month of June is also Pride Month! Pride Month is a time to celebrate the stories, diversity and accomplishments of LGBTQ2S+ communities and also to raise awareness of historical and ongoing injustices they face. We stand with the LGBTQ2S+ community and strive for equality, safety, justice and inclusion for all. School resources
