Ottawa Carleton District School Board

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) is excited to launch our annual United Way campaign to raise funds for community initiatives to combat poverty, support youth and help people overcome challenges across the region.

The OCDSB is committed to promoting and protecting the human rights of its students, their families, its employees and the wider OCDSB community. In January 2021 we began consulting with students, parents/guardians, staff and community members as the OCDSB works to create a district-wide human rights policy. This was done through small group discussions and an online survey. We received 1732 responses to our survey last April. Interested in seeing the results of the survey? Take a look.

On October 27, students, staff, and community members are invited to wear purple to help speak up for vulnerable children and youth.

The OCDSB is seeking two Community Representatives to serve on its Parent Involvement Committee (PIC).

Spirit Day is a way for students, staff and families across the community to show solidarity with 2SLGBTQ+ youth.

Students, families, and staff of all gender identities and expressions have the right to feel physically and emotionally safe, welcomed and accepted at school and in the wider community.

From October 18-22, the OCDSB and our partners at the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA) are raising civic awareness by observing Local Government Week.

October 15th is Canadian Library Support Staff Appreciation Day

At the OCDSB, we are so grateful to recognize the education, skills, commitment and dedication of child care staff and educators of young children.
