Philemon Wright/Hadley CENTRE - Quebec - Western Quebec School Board

Description

Overview

We, the Western Quebec School Board, acknowledge that the lands upon which we live, learn, and work are the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe peoples. We thank them for sharing these lands and commit, as an organization, as educators and as individuals, to an ongoing relationship that recognizes and respects the lands, traditions, and culture of the Anishinaabe people.

The Western Quebec School Board is committed to building an educational community with the common purpose to realize the potential of all our students by cultivating a strong corps of support, professional, teaching, and administrative excellence. We therefore encourage applications from Indigenous people, as well as from other racialized people groups, persons living with a disability, people of religious faith, and gender minorities. As an organization, we strive to hire individuals who reflect the communities we serve, and who embody and practice a love of life-long learning, teamwork, and the highest professional ethics. Our efforts to achieve a diverse workforce that contributes to a culturally safe working environment include establishing proactive employment practices to address systemic barriers and removing obstacles to hiring and retaining qualified people.

Nous les remercions de partager ces terres et nous nous engageons, en tant qu'organisation, en tant qu'éducateurs et en tant qu'individus, à entretenir une relation continue qui reconnaît et respecte les terres, les traditions et la culture du peuple Anishinaabe. La Commission scolaire Western Québec s'engage à bâtir une communauté éducative ayant pour objectif commun de réaliser le potentiel de tous nos élèves en cultivant un solide corps de soutien et l'excellence professionnelle, pédagogique et administrative.
