February 16, 2010 - The inaugural day of this annual event is scheduled for February 24, 2010 

The Halton District School Board is proud to officially recognize Wednesday, February 24, 2010 as Employee Appreciation Day.  More than 8,000 talented staff members are employed by the board on a full or part-time basis, in casual and permanent positions.

Staff contribute daily to the success of the approximately 50,000 elementary and secondary students enrolled in the public board and it is fitting their hard work be recognized.

“I'm delighted to know we are recognizing all our employees as each one contributes to our mission - a commitment to success for every student,” says Wayne Joudrie, Director of Education for the Halton District School Board. “Thanks to our employees’ service, we provide outstanding education in clean, safe and supportive learning environments.”

Employee Appreciation Day will be an annual event held by the Halton District School Board.

To commemorate future employee appreciation events, an exciting art contest for Halton District School Board students and staff entitled, “Learn, Grow, Succeed…Together”, is being launched. The winning piece will be chosen in the spring.
