In an effort to recognize the distinct and diverse nations of Canada's original peoples, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) utilizes First Nations, Métis, and Inuit terminology to represent the demographic of learners we serve.

HWDSB respects the right to self-determination and encourages the participation of Aboriginal Peoples to voluntarily self-identify. The data collected is confidential and will be used to inform relevant programs, policies, and practices for all learners in the Board.
