It's the International Day of Persons with Disabilities! The United Nations started the event in 1992 as a day to help everyone become aware of the challenges faced by people with disabilities and to recognize the benefits of including people with disabilities in everyday life.

HWDSB is excited to share its first-ever family message for International Day of Persons with Disabilities, held on Dec. 3 each year. We're also recognizing the event with resources for staff to help school communities learn about disability. Read more: https://t.co/xsOHNsuGhm

October is Learning Disabilities (LD) Awareness Month! It's a time to raise awareness and reduce stigma to allow individuals with LDs to get the supports they need to reach their potential. Visit the @LDatSchool website for more information: https://t.co/kOoeoFs0xv

Today, HWDSB joins workplaces across Canada to mark National Custodial Workers Day. As the pandemic further underlined, keeping our schools clean and well-maintained is essential. Thank you all for helping create the foundation of positive learning and working spaces!

Each October, Islamic Heritage Month provides an opportunity for Muslim and non-Muslim communities to honour the diverse roles and valuable contributions made by Muslim people in Canada and around the world.

This is great advice! 🧡

Important reminder. 🧡

We must always question what we're doing and work towards getting better. 🙌
