Le Conseil scolaire catholique de district des Grandes-Rivières ("CSCDGR") is a French Catholic school board situated in northern Ontario. The easternmost region of the school board starts in Haileybury. The board covers much of the northern corridor of Highway 11 reaching as far north as Hearst. In the central region of this board is the community of Timmins. The CSCDGR administers schools in an area of 25,000 square kilometres.

The name of the school board was recommended by a former trustee, Jos Matkos. It refers to the many great rivers which run through the area.

The Logo

The logo of the CSCDGR was created by Carmel Arsenault, a local teacher. It represents the different riches found in the region; mining, agriculture and forestry. The colours are also symbolic: green represents forestry as well as renewal and hope; blue represents water not only from the rivers, is a symbol of baptism and also represents the calm northeastern skies of the region; and yellow represents wheat and agriculture, as well as joy for life that is lived in the region.[1]
