Remembrance Day marks the end of the First World War in 1918, and traditionally involves a pause in our day for silent reflection at the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month. For each of us, the day is a time of reflection.

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!
