The Thunder Bay Catholic District School will fly the Pride flag in June.
In a statement Wednesday, board officials confirm that they, along with Thunder Pride, are working on plans for events throughout the month that will maintain COVID-19 safety precautions.
The decision is being met with applause by both Thunder Pride and the Rainbow Collective of Thunder Bay.
“We’re looking forward to working with the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board for this upcoming pride month,” noted Pride Chair Ashley Moreau. “We’re thrilled to be working in partnership with the schools GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) groups and look forward to providing PD and workshops within the Board environment.”
