This month is Indigenous Education Month at TDSB.

We will be looking at the concept of story and sharing our stories with each other. As well, we would like to interrupt the automaticity of the Land Acknowledgement. Our students will be learning about why we have this daily affirmation, why it is significant and develop their roles as change agents.

November is Indigenous Education Month at the Toronto District School Board. It is important to centre First Nations, Métis and Inuit histories, contemporary realities and voices. For classrooms across the TDSB, this is an opportunity to learn from Indigenous perspectives on treaties, Indigenous leadership, achievements, resistance and creativity.

Truth and Reconciliation is a guiding principle at TDSB, and throughout the month of November, students, staff and community members recognize a number of important days to deepen knowledge, to learn together about our shared history and to build stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in what we call Canada today.
