Happy International Women's Day!
In honour of the incredible women in our community and around the world, we recognized International Women’s Day this week. Student Council members, Ashley Munro ’21 and Erica Campagna ’21, created this video shown at Senior School Assembly featuring members of our community sharing the names of the women who they find most inspirational.

Ms. Bland followed up by asking Senior School students to think about who they look up to as leaders and role models in their life. She then challenged students to consider when thinking about who their role models are, how they can try and be someone who has a positive influence on others.
Student Council members posted pictures of some of the many women in activism, science and the arts who they find to be inspirational role models on the white board at the base of the Winch Family Learning Stairs and encouraged others to do so too.
Who do you look up to as leaders or role models who have contributed to historical or modern change?
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.
