Protestors against vaccine mandates for school-aged children disrupted a Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) Tuesday evening.
The meeting was being held at Louise Arbour French Immersion Public School on Bellfield Street in London, Ont. when dozens of protestors showed up, resulting in police having to attend.
On the agenda was a motion to write a letter to Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health requesting that the COVID-19 vaccine be added to the list of compulsory vaccinations for students.
When CTV London cameras arrived on scene protestors turned their attention on journalists with chants of “tell the truth.”
At one point the meeting had to be adjourned while police worked to control the protestors.
“Our role as the police is to be here to maintain the peace, allow the protestors to peacefully protest, while still allowing any meetings that are going on inside the school,” said Const. Buckle.
Ultimately, the motion was withdrawn during the meeting due to a conclusion that the letter may not be necessary.
