The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) in Ontario has found itself at the centre of a controversy after training materials from November 2023 surfaced this month, leading to allegations that teachers were instructed that the word 'family' is harmful and rooted in white supremacy.
The controversy reignited in early June 2025 when alternative media outlets published stories about the professional development session, prompting the school board to issue two separate statements defending the training and clarifying its position on families.
