Cyber Security Awareness Month (Cyber Month) is an internationally recognized campaign held each October to help the public learn more about the importance of cyber security. The campaign helps Canadians stay secure online by teaching them simple steps to protect themselves and their devices. To learn more, please come by our library to check out our related display and go to the Government of Canada page on Cyber Security Awareness Month Resources.
October is Women’s History Month in Canada, a time to highlight the achievements of women and girls, past and present, who have shaped Canada in fields like politics, science, arts, business, and the economy. Come to our library to learn more from our related display and/or go to the Government of Canada Women's History Month Website for additional resources.
SEPTEMBER EVENTS
The fourth week of September is Gender Equality Week in Canada, a time to highlight progress made to advance gender equality, celebrate women’s achievements, and reaffirm Canada’s commitment to closing persistent gender gaps that hold too many back. Gender Equality Week was created through Bill C-309, the Gender Equality Week Act, which became law on June 21, 2018.
It's that time of year when we ask you to take part in the yearbook cover design contest. Please click here for more information and deadlines.
This week is International Week for the Deaf: A Week of Celebration, Awareness, and Action. Deaf-led alliances, in collaboration with governments and other organisations, play a vital role in advancing sign language rights. Following the motto ‘nothing about us without us’, true progress comes from partnerships where deaf people lead and others support them as committed allies. If you would like to learn more, check out the related website and the display in our library.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, marks the beginning of the High Holy Days and sets the spiritual tone for the entire year ahead. Rosh Hashanah 2025 begins at sundown on Monday, September 22, and continues through Wednesday, September 24. These two days mark the start of the Jewish year 5786.
As with all Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown the evening before the calendar date. So the celebration actually starts on the evening of Monday, September 22, 2025, and concludes at nightfall on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Both days of Rosh Hashanah are considered full festival days (Yom Tov) when observant Jews refrain from work and focus on prayer, reflection, and celebration. Come by our library to learn more about Jewish culture.
Thank you to staff and students who joined us for our first ever Book Tasting! It was a lot of fun:)
