A Manitoba school board has voted down a motion to revoke its flag policy over concerns about inclusion, keeping the current protocol that allows only the Canadian, provincial, and school flags to be flown at schools.
The Mountain View School Division (MVSD) board in Dauphin, Man., voted down a motion during a Feb. 24 board meeting to rescind its current flag policy, which has been in place since last September. Calls to include more flags, such as the treaty and Métis flags, have emerged in recent months, with newly elected trustees arguing the current policy fails to represent all students.
