Lest We Forget
Yesterday’s Middle & Senior School Remembrance Day assembly included moving performances from our Drama and Music departments, as well as firsthand accounts and memories shared by Mr. Liggett and students who travelled to France, Belgium, and the Netherlands last March on the CDS Battlefields Trip to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Students read excerpts from their journals recalling the significance of visiting the beaches of Normandy, touring extensive networks of trenches, and visiting the Abbaye d'Ardenne where 156 Canadian prisoners of war are believed to have been executed.
By tracing the footsteps of Canadian soldiers and visiting the war cemeteries and memorials where they are honoured, students shared how these soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and must never be forgotten.

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.
