My passion for KRSS is obvious, as is my desire for an inclusive, ever-widening friendship circle. It has been very good to reconnect with so many people, to meet so many new people, to see how important KRSS is to all of us, past, present and future.
We spoke. It might be misconstrued as "racist", with similitude to "the final solution" and imparted as 'white majority', which may not be a true assessment of the sentiment of the people who desired to retain the Kelly Road name nor why there were so many impassioned responses.
One truth, acknowledged, with apology, by some members of the school board is that t rustees did not consider or engage the Hart community from the start, nor was a fitful protocol for change in place. I reread the minutes of the Indigenous Education Advisory Committee, dated Feb. 3, 2020. Done. A dual name KRSS Shas Ti completes a crafted plan and yet still calls to question the process. Hopefully this will be addressed, as Chairman Bennett indicated, with improvements to SD57 Board of Trustees policy and procedure.
Enough said, I have been schooled on history and how things get done. Canada is still a wonderful place to live, harmonious with all my friends, from every nation, culture and belief. It is our home.
Stay safe, happy and virus wise.
