Google Translate Limitations Disclaimer
The electronic translation service on the Toronto District School Board website is hosted by Google Translate, a third party service. The TDSB does not guarantee or warrant the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any translated information.
The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.
The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.
The Toronto District School Board is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.
Here is the Community Involvement Completion Form which also includes a list of TDSB Approved Activities and Ministry of Education Ineligible Activities. Review this before selecting your activity.
Students are required to complete 40 hours of community involvement as part of the requirement for their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students can start earning their community hours after they have completed grade 8.
Students are encouraged to do more than the required 40 hours for many reasons. This encourages civic responsibilities, promotes community values, and supports career exploration. As well, many scholarships are tied NOT ONLY to marks but to community involvement as well.
More information about volunteering opportunities can be found on the Volunteer bulletin board in the cafeteria, in the Guidance office, and at a variety of community websites. Some sites are listed below:
