Dear Parent/Guardian/Caregiver/Community Leader,

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) is committed to the principles of equity through
inclusive programs, curriculum, services, and operations. In addition, HWDSB believes in ensuring high
levels of student, parent, community and staff participation, involvement and engagement contributing
to student achievement and well-being. In support of our commitments, the Board of Trustees have
established the Faith Community Advisory Committee.

HWDSB is currently seeking a volunteer member for the Faith Community Advisory Committee (FCAC).
The Committee will meet at least once a year with a schedule determined by the Committee. The
Committee will be responsible for providing the Board of Trustees with advice on specific areas of Board
policy or program consistent with the Education Act and the policies of the Board, and on services that
affect the educational success and well-being of HWDSB students.

At this time, we are seeking one parent/guardian/caregiver/community leader who can represent
Indigenous Spirituality.

Criteria for Committee membership is attached. Individuals who apply must be
parents/guardians/caregivers or community leaders who have a strong affiliation to one or more
HWDSB schools and a strong affiliation to the identified faith and/or spirituality area. Membership will
be sought across the geography of HWDSB schools.

Applications for the Faith Community Advisory Committee will be accepted until October 14, 2022.

Applications are available online at https://www.hwdsb.on.ca/about/equity/#tabs-115 and will be
accepted by email or in person (20 Education Court, Hamilton).
