Somali Heritage Month at the TDSB - October 2022

The Toronto District School Board proudly recognizes Somali Heritage Month in October. The TDSB has been marking Somali Heritage Month since June 2016, and we continue to expand on the selected theme Educate. Elevate. Excel.

In October 2020, the Government of Ontario proclaimed Somali Heritage Week Act, 2020. "By proclaiming the week of June 25 through July 1 as Somali Heritage Week, the Province of Ontario recognizes the economic, political, social and cultural achievements and contributions of Somali Canadians in all aspects of Ontario society. Like many refugees and immigrants who have made Ontario their home, Somali Canadians are proud to be part of diverse communities across the province."

All schools and Board offices will receive the Somali Heritage Month poster and presenters will address students and staff throughout the month on topics related to Somali heritage.
