A legendary visit at Forest Avenue Public School!

Students had an exciting opportunity to welcome the iconic Grey Cup to their school on May 13, 2026. From learning about its rich history to seeing the trophy up close, the visit brought Canadian football to life in a meaningful and memorable way.

Students enjoyed taking photos, exploring the significance of the Grey Cup, and celebrating the values of sport, teamwork, and national pride together.

Experiences like this help create lasting memories while connecting students to Canadian traditions in a fun and engaging way.

Congratulations to Rasulan Q. Hoppie and Gurdarshan Gill who received the Visionary Award from the University of Toronto Mississauga Centre for Student Engagement as part of the 2026 Community Partner Awards. This recognition highlights their leadership in creating innovative opportunities that support student engagement and pathways to post-secondary education.

The award follows the successful launch of Middle School Access Days for Black identifying students in Grades 6 to 8, where students explored campus life, identity, wellness, and future pathways through hands on learning and mentorship.

We also celebrate PDSB Indigenous Education Team including Nicole Reynolds, Stephanie Turenko, Terra Belanger, and Kerry Powers, who received the Meaningful Collaboration Award for their ongoing partnership and work supporting Indigenous students.

Together, these efforts continue to create meaningful, inclusive pathways for student success.

Congrats to Hazel McCallion Sr. P.S. student Mrittika Mallik for her outstanding accomplishment in the junior division of the Cambridge Re:Think Essay Competition.

Placing in the top 10% participants worldwide, Mrittika's been invited to attend the award ceremony at the University of Cambridge this July.

Today, on June 3, we recognize Red Shirt Day, a national day of action for accessibility and inclusion.

Led by Easter Seals Canada’s Red Shirt Day movement, this day encourages people across Canada to wear red, show support, and take action to remove barriers for individuals living with disabilities.

In Ontario alone, over 2.6 million people live with a disability. This reminds us of the importance of accessibility and inclusion. It is also an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contributions, leadership, and achievements of individuals in our schools, workplaces, and communities.

National AccessAbility Week is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of accessibility and inclusion in our communities. By identifying and removing barriers, we can help create spaces where everyone feels welcomed, valued and able to participate fully.
