There are events you attend… …and there are events you’re really glad you didn’t miss. Hfx Pride is one of those special ones that help you feel part of something more important than you realized. Come celebrate with us at Pride + see the joy in students’ + colleagues faces that you are there.

As educators, we have the privilege of learning from Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and ways of knowing. Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

Students deserve the support they need to thrive. Please Act for Education & contact your MLA: smaller class sizes, more resources, stronger mental health supports. This site makes it easy: www.actforeducation.ca/action/

Over 100 School Reps in one room tonight — showing what solidarity looks like in action. Proud to represent colleagues who lead, listen, and lift each other up. #NSTU #UnionStrong
