Mandatory vaccines at the TDSB, the catholic school board is silent

by Mariella Policheni

Toronto Catholic District School Board like Molière’s Tartuffe

by Hon. Joe Volpe

TORONTO – Whenever I attend (virtually or in-person) meetings of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, I picture myself in the audience of a performance of Moliere’s comedic production, Tartufe. It is not a compliment.
