Students protest motion that would ban Pride flags at Waterloo region's Catholic schools
Some students walked out of class on Monday and gathered outside Kitchener’s city hall to protest ahead of a Waterloo Catholic District School Board meeting. At the meeting, trustees were expected to discuss a motion to ban all flags and symbols except the Canadian, Ontarian and school board flags. This includes a ban on Pride flags, which were first raised outside Catholic schools in the region in June 2021.
