Navigating the path after high school can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help. We invite all Grade 12 students and their families to a virtual information session on October 9th, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., focused on applying to post-secondary education

During the session, OCDSB staff experts will review how to apply to colleges (with a focus on Ontario colleges), how to apply to universities (with a focus on Ontario universities), and how to move on to an apprenticeship after graduation. There will also be a Q&A section where participants can get their queries answered. 

No registration is required. Simply mark your calendar and join us using the participation link to gain the knowledge you need to make this important next step with confidence.

This event is part of our OCDSB Speaker Series. 

All schools are closed.

November 8th is Indigenous Veterans Day. It is a time to remember and commemorate the stories and contributions of Indigenous veterans in the First and Second World Wars, as well as the Korean War. 

During the First World War (1914-1918) First Nations, Inuit and Métis participation was proportionally higher than that of any other people in Canada, with one in three Indigenous males enlisting. Many Indigenous women served as nurses tending the wounded as well. On the Pikwakanagan First Nation community (Algonquins), on the shores of Golden Lake, all but three males enlisted.

More than 500 Indigenous soldiers died in World Wars I and II. More than 12,000 First Nations (Status and Non-Status), along with a large number of Inuit and Métis, left their homes and families to serve Canada in those two conflicts. 

Following World War II, some Indigenous veterans returned from war and had lost their ‘status’, as they had been absent from their reserves for more than four years. This was a provision of the Indian Act at the time. Indigenous veterans were enfranchised, their sacrifices largely forgotten while their rights and status as Indigenous Peoples were taken away.

In the fall of 2020, the Province of Ontario announced the week of June 25 through July 1 would be proclaimed Somali Heritage Week. This recognizes the economic, political, social and cultural achievements and contributions of Somali Canadians in all aspects of communities across the province. 

The Somali community enriches our school communities and our city through partnership, leadership and influence. Somali Heritage Week allows us to turn our attention to the contributions and lived experiences of Somali people locally, nationally and globally.

This week-long period also covers several dates of significance in the history of the Somali community, and is also an opportunity to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of the Somali people and recognize the many contributions Somali Canadians have made here in Ontario.

All schools are closed.

Dates vary by program. 2-credit Co-Op runs until August 14. For more details, visit the Summer School webpage.
