SCHOOL
The Durham District School Board acknowledges that many Indigenous
Nations have longstanding relationships, both historic and modern, with
the territories upon which our school board and schools are
located. Today, this area is home to many Indigenous peoples from across
Turtle Island (North America). We acknowledge that the Durham Region
forms a part of the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas of
Scugog Island First Nation, the Mississauga Peoples and the treaty
territory of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. It is on
these ancestral and treaty lands that we teach, learn and live.

• A certified journeyperson’s starting salary average is approximately $52,000 while a University graduate’s starting salary average is about $45,000
