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 In Their Footsteps
By Elizabeth Boyd
About a year ago, I didn't see Canada as a country that has much impact on the world. But since then, my perspective on our Canadian identity has greatly changed. After a phenomenal grade 10 history course, a co-op placement at the YRDSB Museum and Archives, and a school trip to Europe for the 100th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge, I now have a whole new attitude on what it means to be Canadian and how well-known we are throughout the world for our contributions.
Juno Beach, Normandy, France. April 2017.
Within this exhibit, I want to share with you the importance of Canadian efforts in World War I and II and our global impact from those years. I took all the photographs in this exhibit myself or scanned them from YRDSB Museum artifacts. Click on them to explore more of this exhibit.
