In Regina Public Schools, it is important that we demonstrate our Shared Values that include belonging and respect. As a school division, we are committed to ensuring that 2SLGBTQIAP+ staff, students, families and allies feel included, protected and respected. It is important to affirm and celebrate all identities and treat everyone with dignity.

MAY 31, 2024—June is Indigenous History Month, a time to celebrate the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous communities.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is held annually on June 21st, the summer solstice. This is a special day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of Indigenous peoples.

MAY 17, 2024 — May 17th is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. Established in 2004, the day affirms the right of all members of 2SLGBTQIAP+ communities to live freely as themselves in all countries and in all spheres—at school, at work, in broader society and at home. Its date commemorates May 17, 1990, when the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from a list of mental health disorders in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). It is a day to celebrate gender and sexual diversity and to condemn the discrimination, violence and stigma that members of 2SLGBTQIAP+ communities continue to experience in Canada and globally.
