Celebrating another great IEP Parent Workshop hosted Saturday, September 27th, at Charles H. Hulse Elementary School. Thanks so much to Susan who helped lead this event, alongside 2 of our P2P peer advocates, Camille and Lilian. Our thanks also goes to Deb Lyons, OCDSB's Learning Supports Principal, who shared her insider's knowledge and experience with parents.

Check out our Parent Toolkit on IEPs for more info and resources on how to navigate this process; and keep your eyes out for follow up events on this topic with our community partner @ottawacarletondsb

Today, we honour Truth and Reconciliation Day.
As parents, caregivers, and educators, we carry the responsibility to teach our children the truth about Canada’s history and the ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous communities.

We commit to listening, learning, and taking action—at home, in our schools, and in our communities. Reconciliation is not a single day, but a lifelong journey.

📚 This week, we invite you to explore Indigenous voices through story. Visit our Anti-Racism and Diversity Libraries to find books that spark conversation and deepen understanding.

Every family can be part of the change.

📚✨ Representation matters—especially in the stories our children read.

At Parents for Diversity, we believe every child deserves to see themselves reflected in books: their cultures, families, identities, and dreams. 🌍❤️

This reel reminds us why inclusive books aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential.
They build confidence, empathy, and a sense of belonging from the earliest pages.

🎥 Watch again. Share widely. Let’s keep pushing for shelves that reflect all our kids.
