Dear RSB Community,
As a public-school board, we are required to comply with Law 29 (Bill 94), which reinforces the principle of secularism in Québec, namely when it comes to the display of religious symbols.
We recognize that this requirement can be challenging, and we want to acknowledge the deep personal and cultural significance that these symbols may represent for many families in our community.
Please know:
- Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion remains strong.
- We value every student and family. While the law sets limits on visible religious symbols, it does not diminish the respect and appreciation we have for your traditions and contributions.
Our schools are spaces of respect, dignity, and collaboration. Together, we will continue to create an environment where everyone feels valued and included, while fulfilling our legal obligations.
Thank you for your trust and partnership in supporting our students. We remain committed to ensuring that all voices and faces are heard and seen in our learning spaces.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your school administration.
