A Nova Scotia centre for education has issued a directive allowing only Canada and Nova Scotia flags to fly outside South Shore schools — a move the provincial teachers union calls concerning and confusing.
Nova Scotia's provincial flag flies on a flag pole in Ottawa on June 30, 2020.
The South Shore Regional Centre for Education, which represents 23 English-language elementary, middle and high schools, said in a statement that flags that are not of Canada or Nova Scotia will be taken off flagpoles and displayed inside the schools. It issued the directive to its schools on Friday.
"Whether it be our Mi'kmaq students, our African Nova Scotian students, or Acadian students, Gaelic students, or 2SLGBTQ+ students, all students should get to see themselves represented in the school community they're in as they're walking up to the school doors," Day said.
