A recent decision by the Mountain View School Division to reinstate the singing of God Save the King each school day has received push back from the Dauphin community. MVSD Board of Trustees member Jarri-Ann Thompson, who is a member of Minegoziibe Anishinae, told APTN News that she learned about the change when she was sent multiple messages with screenshots of a message sent to principals about the change. CBC and APTN News report that MVSD Board Chair Jason Gryba made the reinstatement to “ensure compliance” with the Manitoba Education Administration Act; he reportedly told Thompson that he did not need to discuss the decision with the board. Thompson shared that community members feel “blindsided” by the change; CBC adds that the Manitoba Teachers’ Society is questioning the decision to enforce this policy at a time when reconciliation is a key focus for education. CBC MB Premier Wab Kinew stated that the government is currently considering reviewing the policy that Gryba referred to.
