October 2 is National Custodial Workers’ Recognition Day, a day in which we recognize and show appreciation to our custodians, assistant custodians and maintenance staff who work tirelessly each day to ensure the smooth operation of our schools and office buildings.
These individuals not only keep our sites clean, safe and well-maintained, but enrich their schools and workplaces with their energy, enthusiasm and humour.
This year’s Catholic Education theme, Becoming Artisans of Peace, reminds us that peace is something we are called to build through our daily words and actions, helping to create school communities where everyone feels welcomed, respected and valued.
Our custodial and maintenance staff live out that call each day. Through their care of our schools and workplaces, and their service to the people within them, they help create safe, welcoming and caring environments where students and staff can learn, work and grow together.
On National Custodial Workers’ Recognition Day, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board extends a sincere thank you to our dedicated custodians, assistant custodians and maintenance workers for their tremendous service and goodness.
