Schools must be safe and welcoming spaces for all members of the community. As proud Canadians and proud Nova Scotians, teachers remain committed to fostering inclusivity, cultural respect, and belonging in our schools. #InclusiveEducation #SafeSchools #NSTU

Minister Maguire was responsive to our concerns, and it was clear from our discussion that he was initially unaware of the decision made by the SSRCE. After raising concerns, I appreciate the Minister’s responsiveness and swift action to correct it.

I was pleased to see the government act quickly to reverse the South Shore Regional Centre for Education’s decision to remove flags representing inclusive groups from public display.

N.S. education minister says schools expected to fly diverse flags | CBC News

Brendan Maguire says he will make it clear to South Shore school officials that a directive to remove any flag other than the Canadian and Nova Scotian flags must be reversed.

Happy #internationalwomensday! Didn’t know it was today? That might be because Apple and Google removed it from their calendars. A stark reminder of why it continues to be important to fight for the rights of ALL people.
