Indigenous Education
RCCDSB respectfully acknowledges that we are situated on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Nation. With a deep appreciation for those who came before us and for those who walk alongside us, we strive to carry out the 94 Calls to Action as set out by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and uphold the principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. Moreover, through the Board Action Plan for Indigenous Education, the Indigenous Education Team strives to support students and staff by removing barriers and providing opportunities to encourage success. Through awareness and engagement initiatives, we are building cultural and intercultural understanding, appreciation, and respect.
