A student is raising questions about the Waterloo Region District School Board’s decision to spend $175,000 to rename a high school in Waterloo, Ont.
Grade 10 student Ishan Acharya’s inquiry stems from a vote by the board trustees in 2021 to rename Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School. The reason cited for the decision was that Canada’s first prime minister had a founding role in the residential school system.
