The problem for these schools goes beyond a simple Me-Too-era revision of a public figure’s reputation

Spare a thought for students in Catholic schools across the Dominion. Some of them, in facing the challenges of returning to physical classrooms when the viral storm has passed, will be returning to schools with entirely unfamiliar names.

One such school, the École Catholique Jean-Vanier in Kirkland Lake, Ont., has completed the process of settling on a new name: it will now be the École Secondaire Catholique l’Envolée du Nord —the “school of the Northern Flight.
