The Toronto Catholic District School Board has quietly dissolved its race relations committee, a controversial move one former member called a “slap in the face.”
The board voted on Feb. 15 to end the committee, which trustee Maria Rizzo told the Star is a “relic of the past” and made redundant by other ethnic advisory committees and a new equity action plan the board approved in 2023.
But a letter to the board, written by non-voting members of the committee, is calling for the decision to be reversed.
