Ontario’s Ministry of Education has launched an investigation into a Toronto District School Board (TDSB) field trip that saw children participate in a march and chant pro-Palestinian slogans.
The school board said the Sept. 18 field trip, which involved a number of TDSB schools, was meant to be an “educational experience,” during which students would hear from the indigenous people of Grassy Narrows about how their community was impacted by mercury poisoning.
