VICTORIA, BC – Monday evening, a new Gender Identity and Expression policy was approved by the Board of Education that outlines the expectations, behaviours, language and actions required to support inclusion, and prevent marginalization or discrimination within schools. The policy guides how schools discuss gender and health, and ensures all schools to introduce gender neutral washrooms and change rooms for students and staff. Every school will have at least one adult who acts as a resource for transgender and gender non-confirming and sexual minority students, staff and families.
