  • York Region District School Board Recognition of Heritage/Significant Months/Days
    YORK REGION DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION OF HERITAGE/SIGNIFICANT MONTHS/DAYS Background: At the October 2016 Chair’s Committee meeting Corporate Communications shared research related to the recognition of heritage/significant months/days at Board meetings. During that Chair’s Committee proceedings, Corporate Communications was asked to bring back a fulsome list of months and days that the Board may consider recognizing at its Board meetings through formal motions on a monthly basis. Currently, York Region District School Board recognizes heritage months and celebrations through the following: Public website: recognize events identified in the holidays and observances calendar; and heritage months. Twitter: tweets regarding heritage months and tweeting to some specific events that may occur throughout the year at individual sites. Board meetings: recognition is done informally by the Director during “information items” and by trustees at their discretion during “announcements.” Rationale: Corporate Communications has reviewed the list of months and days recognized by the Province of Ontario (as listed on the Ministry of Citizenship website) and other significant days that the Board has recognized through the mediums listed in the Background. While other dates may be added on an ongoing basis, it is recommended that the Board recognize the months/days in the chart below. When Board meetings occur on dates following the significant day/month, it is also recommended that the Board pass a motion at its meeting preceding the month to be recognized. Where Board meetings occur on dates following the significant day/month, it is further recommended that the Board pass a monthly motion at its meeting preceding the month to be recognized.
