The Edmonton Public School Board of Trustees has released the following statement in response to a protest that is scheduled for today in several Canadian cities, including Edmonton:

Schools are places where all kids deserve to feel safe, included and welcome. As always, but especially today, we are dedicated to providing inclusive spaces. To the EPSB students, staff, families and allies of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, we see you, we hear you and we want to ensure you feel safe at our schools.
