  • Excerpts from Mr. Harvey’s Academic Assembly Remarks

    Good Morning,

    Do I have your attention?

    Do I have your attention?

    Do I have your attention?

    Well, thank you for giving me your attention so fully, but, sadly, I’m no longer certain that it is yours to give. And if you are not in possession of your attention, who is? TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube? Nevertheless, if you have given it to me freely and completely, my wish is to give it back to you because in our current cultural moment it is a highly valuable and rare commodity, one that should be held on to at all costs!

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
