Throughout the month of June, the Upper Grand District School Board will be celebrating Pride Month at the board and school levels and as a community.
Many students, staff, parents/guardians and community members identify as members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. As we begin Pride Month, we will be highlighting and celebrating the work that the UGDSB does year-round as a board, as well as highlighting the work of student and staff groups.
To kick-off Pride Month, it is the expectation that UGDSB schools and offices raise the Pride Flag on June 1 as a sign of support and celebration. Along with raising the Pride Flag, the board will provide schools with intentional learning resources that centre on the contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and addresses homophobia, transphobia, biphobia and other forms of oppression by first person experts.

KITCHENER While discussions regarding reopening schools across Ontario continue, one local board is focusing its efforts on getting some students fully vaccinated by the fall. Ontario s top doctor said Tuesday he would like to see students return to their classrooms before the province starts reopening in mid-June. “I ve been encouraging schools to open as soon as possible, discussions with our medical officers of health throughout the province, all of them want them schools open,” said Dr. David Williams during a news conference. “May 31 into the first week of June would be an opportune time for some areas and we may want to do things on a regional basis.”
