The issue of Pride flags has been causing controversy in Southern Ontario
Greater Sudbury area school boards say they are flying Pride flags during June, which is Pride Month.
However, all four local school boards say the Pride flag will be displayed at their facilities this month. In response to our query as to why the board is not flying the Progress Pride flag at its Centre for Education , the board said this because there is only one flagpole at the facility. “The Progress flag aligns with our Board’s equity plan and our multi-year strategic plan which emphasizes inclusion and belonging, as well as student and staff well-being. It communicates for our children, youth, staff, families, and community members that our Board and schools are safe, welcoming places to learn and grow.”
“Open to the world, the Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord values the uniqueness and authenticity of every member of its staff and every student who attends one of its schools. At the board, every person, student and staff member is welcomed, accepted and given a place to grow. Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon said it has purchased Progress Pride flags to display in all of its schools.
