VANCOUVER A Metro Vancouver school board says it is aware of what it calls a racially motivated incident involving its students. In a video posted to Instagram by Black Vancouver, several teen boys can be heard using the N word and making threatening comments. School District 43 in Coquitlam told CTV News the incident involves students and is tied to social media. In an email, the district s assistant director of communications said it happened over the Family Day weekend. Some young people were using an online group chat app called House Party, Ken Hoff said Friday. A couple of participants joined a conversation, identified themselves as students of SD43, and used inappropriate racial slurs and threats, directed toward another teen.
