The Waterloo Region District School Board is committed to equity in employment and to fair and equitable hiring practices that reflect the diversity of the community we serve. We actively encourage applications from individuals who have historically faced barriers to equity, including First Nations, Métis, Inuit peoples, and other Indigenous peoples; individuals experiencing discrimination due to race, ancestry, color, religion, spiritual beliefs, or place of origin;

persons with visible and/or invisible disabilities; and persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. We will provide appropriate accommodations under human rights protected grounds.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather today is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton People and we honor the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws, and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land.
