MONTREAL (CityNews) – Kamala Harris will become the first woman and first person of colour to be vice-president of the United States Wednesday.
It’s a milestone that her former Montreal school, Westmount High School, is celebrating.
The school is hosting a big party Wednesday to celebrate–the inauguration will be streamed in the classrooms for students to watch and the school is set to receive a few items from the United States Consulate General.
Teachers at Westmount High School are wearing black to, among other things, “mourn the inevitable deaths that will occur due to the increased transmission caused by school reopenings.”
