Strides for Sun Safety

To honour National Sun Awareness month, Pathways to People hosted their fourth annual Strides for Sun Safety event on Friday, May 8th. Each class wore blue and yellow and were challenged to find a shady spot on the CDS campus to enjoy a read-aloud focusing on sun safety. Students made sure to wear hats and sunscreen!
This is always an important event in the Junior School as students have the opportunity to learn about the legacy of the late Steph Collins and her passion for sun safety. Ms. Collins was a lover of the outdoors and always emphasized the importance of being safe in the sun to her students. Strides for Sun Safety is in honour of Ms. Collins and her wish to continue the conversation about being safe in the sun. 
 
Thanks to the incredible enthusiasm of our school community, the Junior School’s Pathways to People successfully raised $1,000 for The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund to support their vital work.

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.
