Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA)
Days of Significance Calendar
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 Children's Vision Awareness Month
As a child grows, so do their eyes, and healthy vision is an important part of a child’s overall well-being. Children’s Vision Month highlights the importance of comprehensive eye examinations for kids and youth to help with early detection of eye disease and several systemic diseases.
