Normally I would post this on the board for news outside of the GTA but since few posters read that board and this is an issue that is of interest to everyone, I thought it was worth posting here.
Last year, AY Jackson from Ottawa won the OFSAA AA championships. This year, the school has chosen to cancel the senior boys program due to chronic issues with behaviour, skipping class, missing practice, etc. It has become an issue of great controversy over the past couple of days in Ottawa, with people greatly divided over the decision. I have my own opinions on the issue but I though I would hold off as I'm curious what the posters here think about it.
Before commenting on the issue, please take the time to look at the following links:
