Uses for the calendar:

• Use this calendar to inform programming, scheduling, and to better understand colleagues and communities we serve.
• To ensure everyone can participate and show respect for each other, avoid scheduling events (for staff or community) on important days of significance.
• Some holidays involve fasting from certain foods or more prayer - keep this in mind if you are scheduling a meeting or event.
• Supervisors: People may ask for time off in honour of some of these 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.
