"Schools are doing their best most of the time, I am aware of that. But there are definitely gaps. [Students] need to have a sense of belonging. They need to feel 'home' ... And when we are aware of the needs of our students and we provide those information and supports for them based on their needs, then we can say we are successful communities." - Maryam Karimi during an interview with CBC News, April 23, 2022
