May 10: Bear Witness Day

Each year on May 10th, we recognize Bear Witness Day / Journée de l’ourson témoin. Bear Witness Day is Spirit Bear’s birthday, and honours the memory of Jordan River Anderson through the full and proper implementation of Jordan’s Principle.

Jordan’s Principle is a legal rule ensuring First Nations children can access the services they need when they need them. Leading up to May 10th, OCDSB staff, students, and families are invited to ensure that Jordan’s legacy is respected in the following ways:

Please join us and stand with First Nations children, families, and communities by supporting the full implementation of Jordan’s Principle on May 10th. You can also read more stories with Spirit Bear and friends all year long: visit the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society for more.
