Significant Faith Days

YRDSB Diamond Days

Please note that in addition to the above listed dates, all staff are encouraged to take reasonable steps to accommodate students, families and staff members of a faith group who state that the Board’s school and workplace operations or requirements create undue hardship and interfere with their ability to exercise their religious beliefs and practices.

These dates may include, but are not limited to the following:

¹ Dates are subject to the sighting of the moon each month and may vary for different members of the Islamic faith

² All Jewish and Islamic Holy Days commence on the preceding evening at sunset.

³ The first two days and last two days of Passover are observed as full Holy Days
