A Catholic school board in Ontario has voted against changing its flag policy, which bans the flying of Pride flags on school flagpoles, after community advocates asked the board to reconsider the rule.
During a Jan. 21 committee meeting, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board voted 10-1 against revising its flag policy. The current policy was last modified in June 2024, dictating that Pride flags could not fly on school flagpoles and could only be displayed inside schools during Pride Month.
