Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content Below are some of the opportunities available to students:
- Symposium opportunity: Students tackle real global issues, right in the classroom. Global Solutions introduces grade 11 and 12 students to a current global problem and provides them the background, tools and guidance to propose solutions in an innovative way. Students receive a Global Ideas Challenge Topic with related readings, video lectures, and an opportunity to present their creative solutions with a go-to- market plan. These challenge topics or global problems are being tackled by researchers at the Munk School, University of Toronto and many other international institutions. The program culminates in students presenting their solutions in a symposium.
Field trip to Pearson International Airport: Get a behind-the- scenes look at Canada’s busiest airport. We will not be entering buildings or aircraft/hangars, but students will still get an opportunity to understand how all pieces of the puzzle that is aviation come together. We’ll discuss different roles and responsibilities and show them some really cool stuff!
