TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE


E


TREATIES RECOGNITION WEEK


T


he fi rst week of November was Treaties Recognition Week, but learning about treaties with your students can happen any time of the year. Treaties are legally binding agreements that set out the rights, responsibilities and relationships of


First Nations and the federal and provincial governments. Ontario would not exist without treaties, and it is important for students and educators alike to understand these agreements better. Check out the excellent tools and resources available at etfofnmi.ca


ach year, ETFO recognizes the International Transgender Day of Remembrance. Transgender Day of Remembrance was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a trans-


gender woman who was killed in 1998. The day commemorates all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester’s death.
