Why choose us 

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is a place where respect, encouragement, and inclusiveness are honoured. The OCDSB takes great pride in acknowledging those efforts. Recognition awards are tributes to the work staff, parents, students and community members do. At the OCDSB we are pleased to celebrate these contributions to the District. Individuals being recognized by these awards understand that their work impacts the lives of others — our students, our staff, and our community. It is important to note as well that their contributions have been acknowledged by people who work closely with them, and recognize the work they do for others.
