About

District 29 Lanark was formed in 1979.

Our members include those who work in and retire from education – including child care and early years, schools and school boards, post-secondary, private schools and more. We play a key role in helping members stay active and connected – with each other and the community.

District 29 is situated on the ancestral traditional territories of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee (St Lawrence Iroquois) peoples. We recognize that this territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. We also acknowledge the urban Indigenous communities in our district.

District 29 Lanark recognizes the inequities connected to colonization and commits to working towards creating a just, inclusive and vibrant community for all. We invite our members to reflect on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action.
