Two Toronto Catholic District School Board trustees want the Ministry of Education to allow the board to delay implementation of the province’s new sex-ed curriculum.
Angela Kennedy and Garry Tanuan say in a news release that they will be introducing a motion at tonight’s board meeting asking fellow trustees to support the idea of a one-year delay.
