Many Canadians know of The Group Of Seven, but have you heard of the Indigenous Group of Seven? Formally known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation, it formed in 1973 with seven Indigenous artists to promote Indigenous art. These are the artists 👇🖼️ 🧵1/9

Parents for Diversity is looking for volunteers - parents, educators and allies to join us in the incredibly important work of making classrooms equitable and validating of all lived experiences regardless of (dis)ability, race or gender (1/2)

A presentation was also made to Michele Giroux for her work as Director of Education since January.

A big shout out to all the kids who didn’t win an award, make honor roll, and barely made it through the school year. A big hug to the moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, and foster parents that stuck by them as they maneuvered the school year. For all those - Just GOING to school is a BIG accomplishment. To the kids that didn’t get invited to the prom, didn’t get a scholarship to college, and perhaps have to go straight to work out of high school....you are still worthy of a pat on the back and a Facebook post with people talking about how amazing you are. Some kids have to work twice as hard as other students just to get a C. Their achievements deserve recognition. Don’t forget those kids. Kindness, creativity, and generosity....those attributes sadly don’t get the accolades they deserve.
