Pride Month (June 2023)
2023-06-01
Pride Month (June 2023)
Pride Month is an annual event typically celebrated in June around the world. Over the course of the month, HWDSB strives to recognize and celebrate Two Spirit & LGBTQIA+ contributions and identities, and the allies who stand in solidarity and support. It is also a time of action; a time to raise awareness about the rise in discrimination, hate, and violence toward Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people and communities both locally and globally.
To kick off Pride Month, the Progress Pride flag or Rainbow flags are being raised at the Education Centre and all HWDSB schools. The annual flag raising is to honour and celebrate students, families, staff, and members of our local communities who are of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.

Student Council Update – Be You! Day – June 8th
Our Student Council is proud to announce that they would like to hold a “Be You” Day on Thursday, June 8th where everyone can dress to represent their best selves according to their personal cultural heritage, their favourite sports team, or just simply by wearing their favourite set of clothes that make them feel great! Our HD community is encouraged to talk about their choice to their class if they feel comfortable so others may know why this expression is important to them.
