School are the heart of our community

"As a parent of three students, I faced many obstacles navigating the public education system. I feel a duty and responsibility to use my knowledge, voice, and privilege to advocate for the health, safety, well-being, and success of all children, youth, and families in our community."

- Romana Siddiqui

Land Acknowledgement 

I would like to acknowledge the land we live, work, play and gather on is located on Treaty 13A, 14 and 19 of The Mississaugas of The Credit First Nation.  Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land, and continue to do so today. I give thanks to the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples who have walked before us and the present generations, for whom this land continues to be home. I will continue to learn the true history and celebrate the vast contributions First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples have made and continue to make.
