Description
April 9–10 Ottawa The second annual conference of CGRO was held at the University of Ottawa, hosted by GO. About seventy-five participants, representing seventeen member groups, attended panels, lectures, and workshops that focused on "Gay Equality in the Schools." More than 2,000 invitations had been sent out to teachers, principals, and trustees of four Ottawa-area school boards and the Hull Protestant school board, but no one turned up at the conference workshops on sex education. The conference adopted several resolutions, including the formation of the Ontario Gay Teachers' Caucus.
