Days of Significance

Hamilton is the fourth largest city in Ontario welcoming more than 16,000 new residents between 1996 and 2001. Almost one quarter of the city’s population comes from outside Canada and 10 percent are visible minorities. Quite simply, Hamilton is a cultural mosaic where people from different countries and backgrounds have come for a fresh start - to live, work and play.

The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board recognizes the diversity of our students and celebrates it. As a useful resource and a testament to our belief that different races, cultures, religions and voices are equally important, we have provided this Days of Significance Calendar.

Please accept apologies for omissions of any group or important dates.  We make all possible efforts to publish HWDSB’s Days of Significance according to a variety of sources and procedures.  If there are any comments regarding the Days of Significance, please inform Shawn McKillop, via email: shawn.mckillop@hwdsb.on.ca.
