Tour For Humanity - Holocaust and Genocide Educational Experience
By Dave Downer
From April 8 to April 10, many Country Day School students will have a special educational experience when the school hosts the Tour for Humanity mobile classroom. This traveling classroom is an education centre sponsored by The Friends Of Simon Wiesenthal.
Throughout the three days, we will have students from Grades 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12 attend age-appropriate workshops on genocide and the Holocaust that are linked to their class studies. The self-contained mobile classroom will be set up in the Junior School parking lot on each of the three days and students will go for lessons led by FOSW instructors. More information about the classroom and workshop descriptions can be found here: Tour For Humanity

There will also be an opportunity for interested family members to attend a workshop organized specifically for them on Thursday, April 10, from 12:45 - 1:45pm. If this is of interest to you, please email Mr. Downer to have your name added to the list on a first-come, first-served basis.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
