Working Group

In May 2021, we announced the membership of Branksome’s first DEI Working Group. Its mandate is to meet regularly to support the strategic development of DEI initiatives and planning for the school, by bringing perspective to the interpretation of data and developing institutional recommendations, which will be approved by the Principal and the Senior Leadership Team. Dr. Mira Gambhir co-chairs the DEI Working Group, along with Amanda Kennedy, Deputy Principal of Branksome Hall. The group consists of 14 members from across the Branksome community, including 12 employee volunteers, and two alum representatives.

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.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
