<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) Education Centre, along with schools across the district, is recognizing Pride Month in the KFL&amp;A region by flying the Progress Pride Flag for the remainder of the school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Government of Canada notes that the manner in which the Canadian flag is displayed is not governed by legislation. The guidelines provided are not mandatory for individuals or organizations but are intended to offer general direction.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After consultation and clarification from Heritage Canada and communication with trustees, LDSB schools with only one flagpole will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag for the balance of this school year.&nbsp; Limestone’s goal will be to increase the number of schools with more than one flagpole and/or the addition of yardarms to existing flagpoles to display more than the Canadian flag. Until this goal is achieved, we will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag at sites with only one flagpole.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Displaying the Progress Pride Flag is a way for LDSB to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This recognition does not diminish our respect for Canada’s national flag; rather, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students, staff, and families feel welcomed, valued, and respected in Limestone schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Flying the Progress Pride Flag is one example of how LDSB demonstrates its inclusive culture. As a publicly funded school board, we have both a legal and moral responsibility to create learning environments where everyone can see themselves reflected and feel a sense of belonging.</span></p>

Albinism occurs in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world. In the U.S., approximately one in 18,000 to 20,000 people has some type of albinism. In other parts of the world, the occurrence can be as high as one in 3,000. Most children with albinism are born to parents whose hair and eye color are typical for their ethnic backgrounds.</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">On </span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Friday, June 12th</em></i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, we are asking staff and students to wear yellow to help bring awareness to Albinism.
