Equity Review Family Sessions
November 21, 2025
In partnership with the Diversity Institute at Toronto Metropolitan University, WSD is conducting an equity review of our programs and initiatives to ensure the fair, inclusive, and respectful treatment of all students, staff, and community members.
The Diversity Institute is engaging WSD families to understand perspectives on how to strengthen equity across these key areas:
- Curriculum and instruction supports
- Access and opportunity to programs and services
- Student support services and restorative justice
- Staff hiring practices and professional development
- Student/employee/family/community engagement
The Diversity Institute is inviting families to share their perspectives at an in-person equity review session. These will be safe and welcoming environments for everyone to engage in. Input will help shape the review and report with strengths, gaps, and opportunities.
Families will receive invitations from their school indicating the time and place of the Equity Review Session that they should attend. Please endeavour to attend the session in your designated neighbourhood. Sessions will take place at three locations within the division on the evenings of November 24, 25, or 26.
The session is led by the Diversity Institute. If you wish to provide feedback to the equity review in other ways, please contact the Diversity Institute, and they will work with WSD to support you.
