Why is the Vancouver School Board not allowing Graduation Ceremonies to have parents attend? I thought we were allowed gatherings once again? Or is that just concerts, hockey games, baseball games etc………

Cities cannot enact or use bylaws that have the purpose or effect of infringing on health, including drug user-led groups. Besides being obviously cruel and discriminatory, it's ILLEGAL City of Nanaimo Sheila Malcolmson
