How to Use the DEIJ Calendar

Use this calendar to inform programming, scheduling, and to better understand colleagues and communities we serve. For example:

• Avoid scheduling events on days important to communities in CK to ensure everyone can participate and show respect for each other.
• Supervisors: Colleagues may request time off to honour important dates. Employers have a duty to accommodate employee's creed to the point of undue hardship, including providing time off for religious holidays. Learn more from the Ontario Human Rights Commission.

Remember that outside of these holidays, people may have regular prayer or reflection practices throughout the week.

We encourage you to get to know your team - find out what days and holidays are important to each other, if and how these days should be acknowledged.

Community Events

We post information about community events throughout the month in the 'Engage' section of the DEIJ Employee Portal.
