In the first of many 20-minute takes, Cristina and Geoff introduce themselves and unpack a few brief but critical moments from the September 29th Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) meeting. The Chair opened with a lengthy statement affirming the Board’s commitment to reconciliation, orange shirts, and Indigenous sovereignty, referring to everyone else as ‘settlers on Turtle Island’. In contrast, Trustee Watson’s concise acknowledgment of Charlie Kirk was quickly shut down. Was it in response to the name of Jesus?
There’s still much to cover—and with the next WRDSB meeting just around the corner (tonight at 7 p.m.), there will be even more to discuss.
