Listening to Dr. Sean Lessard talk abt why students dropping out of school: key indicator is if high school students don’t know all their teachers names. Relationships matter. Patterns matter. #indleads2022

Flags at Regional facilities have been lowered for the National #DayOfMourning to honour those who have lost their lives, or suffered injury or illness on the job or due to a work-related tragedy, and frontline and essential workers who have died or become ill during #COVID19.

What a day! It was amazing to see Gr. 7s connect our learning this year w/a visit from @vanderwalc & @MrsTPhil where Ss developed a deeper understanding of land rights, colonization, and self-determination. Thankful for the continued opportunity to learn & reflect @DesmondHDSB

Thx to @vanderwalc & @MrsTPhil for another great visit today working w/gr7s to help consolidate some of our thinking from this year so far & make connections to #UNDRIP. This will continue to guide our thinking through our inquiry this spring. @HDSBIndigenous @DesmondHDSB

I’m stunned by @Pontifex apology. I know many delegates who came here and other survivors who long prayed for an apology are feeling a sense of Justice from this action.
Teachers across #onted and throughout Canada should be talking about what's going on in Rome today with Ss. @vanderwalc @HDSBIndigenous #94callstoaction #MMIWG #UNDRIP – at Milton, Ontario

We had a moment today, before the Vatican. Fred Kelly, spiritual advisor with @AFN_Updates delegation, asked us to remember all the residential school students, those who died at school, MMIWG, 60s Scoop survivors. He asked us to keep them in our minds. This is why we are here.

Today, I visited Anima Mundi, part of the Vatican Museum with Indigenous “artifacts” kept in the Church’s private collection. There is an “Ontario”pipe stove from the 18th century, Haida Gwaii masks from the 18th Century, much more. I photographed them and was asked to leave.
