Days of Significance, Recognitions & Religious/ Spiritual Observances

Days of Significance and Heritage Recognition

At AMDSB we acknowledge and celebrate many different days of significance, heritage recognition days and months, and religious observations. The days on this list are the ones we usually celebrate each year. Additions and changes happen regularly, as we learn more about our community and as we are made aware of special dates they care about.

For dates such as PA Days, exam dates, and statutory holidays when schools are closed, visit our School Calendar page.

Religious Observances

Since the spring of 2021, we recognize significant holy days for all of the religions followed by the people within our district, to the best of our knowledge. The days on this list are the ones we currently recognize. Additions and changes happen as we learn more about our community.
 
Dates of religious holy days often vary because they are based on other calendars or moon cycles, so they are organized here according to faith rather than date.
 
If you would like to suggest the addition of a religious observance to this list, please contact our Communications team at [email protected].
