Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day that marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, repentance and reflection leading up to Easter. It is traditionally observed by attending church services where ashes, made from the previous year's Palm Sunday palms, are placed on the forehead in the shape of a cross. This symbolizes human mortality and the need for repentance. The day encourages believers to reflect on their spiritual lives and seek renewal.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
