Good day,

We deeply regret and apologize for allowing our board meeting to be a venue for hate. Due to an unruly group of attendees that disrupted the regular board meeting on June 20, the agenda was abbreviated. The safety and well-being of our community, including board members and staff present at the meeting, were the prime considerations in making this decision.

The Louis Riel School Division Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team want to reiterate a commitment to safe, caring, and inclusive working and learning environments, which includes the board room. The aggressive and threatening behaviours including the homophobic, transphobic, and racist remarks our community was subjected to yesterday evening will not be allowed.

Sandy Nemeth, Chair of the LRSD Board of Trustees
Christian Michalik, Superintendent of Schools & CEO
