Uses for the calendar:

• Use this calendar to inform programming, scheduling, and to better understand colleagues and communities we serve.
• To ensure everyone can participate and show respect for each other, avoid scheduling events (for staff or community) on important days of significance.
• Supervisors: People may ask for time off in honour of some of these dates. Employers have a duty to accommodate employee's creed to the point of undue hardship, including providing time off for religious holidays. Learn more from the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

Community Events:

Find more information about community events to honour days of observance in the DEIJ Outlook calendar (contact us if you want access and don't have it) and the 'Engage' section of the DEIJ Employee Portal.

We will share a schedule of events related to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
