OCTOBER 5, 2026 — Every year on October 5th, the world celebrates World Teachers’ Day to highlight the responsibilities, rights and the value of teachers. UNESCO introduced World Teachers’ Day in 1994 to draw attention to teachers’ contributions and achievements, as well as to teachers’ concerns and objectives in education. The date of October 5th was chosen as the international day to honour teachers since it was on that date in 1966 that a special intergovernmental meeting accepted the UNESCO Recommendation on the Status of Teachers.

The theme of World Teachers' Day 2026 is "Standing with teachers: 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures."

SEPTEMBER 28, 2026—Orange Shirt Day, observed on September 30th, is a powerful reminder of the injustices faced by Indigenous children in Canada through the residential school system. It is a day of truth and reconciliation, encouraging all Canadians to learn about this dark chapter in history and to honour the survivors and those who never returned home. Wearing an orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, identity, and childhood experienced by so many. By taking time to reflect and educate ourselves, we acknowledge the resilience of Indigenous communities and commit to meaningful change. Learning is a vital step toward healing, and September 30th offers an opportunity to listen, reflect, and move forward together in the spirit of reconciliation.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2026—Trustees, administration, family, and friends gathered at the Conexus Arts Centre on September 16th to celebrate the recipients of the 2025-26 Shared Values Recognition Program (SVRP) at its 18th annual ceremony.
