We value the diverse identities, experiences, perspectives, and abilities of the children, youth, families, staff, board members, and community partners who make up our community.

The calendar provides opportunities for learning, reflection, recognition and celebration, while helping us better understand and appreciate the diverse experiences, identities and perspectives within our community. It is curated by our EDIA Committee as a resource to support meaningful engagement throughout the year.

Note: Select days may vary by a few days before or after the indicated date due to the observance of the lunar calendar for some cultures/faiths and time zones.

Start of Mental Health Week

Start of Mental Health Week

Every year, the first full week in May, Canada comes together to recognize Mental Health Week (MHW).

Established in 1951 by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), this week encourages Canadians to learn and talk with others about mental health issues. By embracing honesty and vulnerability, we open the door to deeper connections and the mental health benefits that come with it. In doing so, we can create a ripple effect of courage and understanding across the country.

To learn more, visit the CMHA website.
