Congratulations to Rasulan Q. Hoppie and Gurdarshan Gill who received the Visionary Award from the University of Toronto Mississauga Centre for Student Engagement as part of the 2026 Community Partner Awards. This recognition highlights their leadership in creating innovative opportunities that support student engagement and pathways to post-secondary education.
The award follows the successful launch of Middle School Access Days for Black identifying students in Grades 6 to 8, where students explored campus life, identity, wellness, and future pathways through hands on learning and mentorship.
We also celebrate PDSB Indigenous Education Team including Nicole Reynolds, Stephanie Turenko, Terra Belanger, and Kerry Powers, who received the Meaningful Collaboration Award for their ongoing partnership and work supporting Indigenous students.
Together, these efforts continue to create meaningful, inclusive pathways for student success.
