Who You Become is Infinitely More Important Than What You Become

Allan Hardy, Principal
We have been fortunate to have the opportunity to think critically about what we mean here at Greenwood when we talk about moral character. Doing the right thing for the right reasons takes courage. Our guest speakers and their stories have served as great examples of how to do the right thing. During Pride Week, we heard learned about people like Brenda Howard, who is credited with founding the first-ever Pride Parade as a way of standing up to homophobia and bigotry. Hedy Bohm told us how she survived the Holocaust and shares this story as a means of fighting anti-Semitism and ignorance. Mike Downie through his work on The Secret Path shed some light on Canada’s neglect of its Indigenous people and urged us to do what we can to help improve their lives.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
