Local school raises Pride flag

Mayor, councillors, students and school officials of the GECDSB raise Pride flag on school grounds.

Schools from within the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) raised Pride flags last week with a ceremonial flag raising happening last Monday morning in front of Amherstburg Public School. School officials and students were joined by Mayor Michael Prue, Councillor Linden Crain, Councillor Don McArthur, Deputy Mayor Chris Gibb and The House Youth Centre program director Morghan Shearon for the flag raising. One of the purposes behind the flag raising was to show that “hate has no home here,” in a statement read by Prue.
