The Board’s anti-racism statement on equity, inclusion and the illumination of discrimination and racism was unveiled by Chair Jay Aspin.

“Providing safe and equitable spaces for people from all walks of life is a top priority for our Board. We are striving to provide supports and learning opportunities that affirm identities and celebrate the diversity of our community. While the NNDSB has taken significant steps in relation to equity and inclusion, we acknowledge and recognize that there is much more to be done. Our schools need to be places where all of our students can flourish in safe and accepting environments.”
