The YRDSB YouTube account is managed by Corporate Communications on behalf of all YRDSB staff. All of the content uploaded has been produced internally. Footage posted primarily consists of our own schools, students and staff, with the occasional use of stock footage.

If you subscribe to us, you can expect videos about the following:

  • coverage on news and events taking place in our system
  • video profiles about students, staff and programs in our system
  • system-level information regarding emergent issues
  • informational videos regarding school closures or emergency situations
  • occasional live coverage of events

 

Subsc​ribing

If you subscribe to us on YouTube, we will not automatically subscribe to you back, unless you are a school account. This is to avoid wasting resources and to handle spammers. Being subscribed by YRDSB does not imply endorsement of any kind.

 

Availabil​ity

We will update and monitor our YouTube account during regular office hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. However, if necessary, YRDSB staff will provide after hours information to keep our stakeholders aware. YouTube may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility due to this downtime. YRDSB reserves the right to change, suspend or terminate its YouTube account at any time.
