The Toronto Catholic District School Board says it will celebrate Pride Month every June, starting this year, marking a victory for the LGBTQ community.
The board s trustees voted in favour of flying rainbow flags outside its office and all of its schools on Thursday night, after hearing from former Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne.
A member of the LGBTQ and Christian communities, Wynne urged trustees to join Thunder Bay and Waterloo s Catholic boards in sending a clear signal of inclusiveness by formally proclaiming Pride month.
