THUNDER BAY — Five years ago, the Rainbow flag was nowhere to be seen around Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board schools.
“ really was my first supporter when I did come out,” Kembel said, after watching the Pride flag raised outside the board’s Victoria Street offices on Friday afternoon. Katie Matthews, the mental health leader at the Catholic board and co-chair of its Pride committee, said with community backlash growing in other cities and south of the border, it was important to give students a voice and a place to be part of Friday’s ceremony, but to also ensure teachers and staff to hear directly from students about how important it is to them.
