The thoughts of the Toronto District School Board are with the victims of today’s targeted attacks on innocent people around Sri Lanka that sadly took the lives of more than 200 people and injured hundreds. 

Our hearts go out to the victims’ families and loved ones, the people of Sri Lanka and those impacted here in Toronto. 

We stand with the larger global community in condemning these senseless acts of terror and stand against hate in all its forms. 

Media coverage at times like this can also be very challenging for some students. Our Professional Support Services staff have assembled tips for parents that may help with discussions with children.
