Our theme for Black History Month this year is #bhnBlackHistory365 .Not just throughout February, but beyond, students and staff are encouraged to reflect upon Black heritage and how it connects with our education and our communities. Let’s celebrate now & forever, together.

Today’s the day! Today Bell will donate more towards mental health initiatives in Canada by contributing 5¢ for every applicable text, call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, social media video view and use of the Facebook frame or Snapchat lens. Make these actions count

Make yourself a PRIORITY! #BellLetsTalk

We are so glad to see student teachers learning from our school communities! What an excellent version of O Canada - we love seeing how Canada's culture comes alive through versions like these! Take a look and consider playing this version in your school this week!

This is wonderful to hear, especially on a day like today. This is such a great example to all students. Do your research, see the past, see the present.

Listen to the stories, Learn about the history, Reflect on the past and present. Stand up together. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation

The new school year has started and the ACE media pages are back up and running. The group is excited for the year to come and help more people learn about the importance of advocacy, community, and empowerment! Stay tuned for this year's projects and posts!

Lastly, let this day remind all of you to celebrate and love each other. Canada would not be so wonderful if it was not for the diversity and spirituality of all it's peoples. So today, take time to immerse yourself into the art, culture and achievements of Indigenous peoples 4/4

This is especially true considering the recent news and the way it has impacted the entire country. So today, let us remember the mistakes that were made and learn from them. Sorry isn't enough. Let us acknowledge, honour, and respect all those who have already left us behind 3/4

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day. This day recognizes and celebrates the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people of Canada. Today, specifically is a milestone for this day, as it is the 25th year being celebrated. 1/4
