Latest DSBN human rights complaint heard

A Grimsby man is once again taking on the District School Board of Niagara over its perceived religious connections.

In November 2013, Rene Chouinard filed an Ontario Human Rights Code complaint arguing the board "continues to exhibit preferences for Protestant Christianity" at its facilities, to the exclusion of other creeds and religious beliefs.

He says the most obvious example of this is the Eden High School in St. Catharines and its Protestant ties.

The complaint adds the board has "continued to allow other missionary organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, to operate Christian mission activities within its programs."
