November is Indigenous Education Month

November is Indigenous Education Month at the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø. This month is an important reminder to centre First Nations, Métis, and Inuit perspectives, voices, histories, and contemporary realities across the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø. It is an opportunity to learn from Indigenous perspectives on treaties, Indigenous leadership, achievements, resurgence, futurities, and creativity.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action is a strategic direction in the Board.

Throughout November, students, staff, and community members honour a number of important days to deepen knowledge, to learn from our shared history, and to build stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.

 

  • Treaties Recognition Week is the first full week of November, November 7th-11th.
  • November 7 is International Inuit Day.
  • November 8 is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
  • November 16 is Louis Riel Day in Ontario.

The attached poster has a link to resource documents to support student and staff learning.
