Following our Tuesday episode with Halton Catholic School Board Chair Patrick Murphy, we speak with Lauren Wallis of Halton Parents for Change (https://haltonparentsforchange.ca/, @HaltonPFC).

Lauren gives her perspective on Chair Murphy’s account of recent dysfunction at HCDSB and the Pride flag debate, and what needs to be done make the board function effectively.

Lauren is a mom of two, a data analyst for a healthcare company, and a graduate of HCDSB schools. She is a founding member of Halton Parents for Change, a grassroots group of parents fighting for change and equity at HCDSB as well as accountability for our trustees, and “looking to vote out the dinosaurs next October”.
