Description
April 27 Toronto John Argue, a swimming instructor with the Toronto Board of Education and a gay activist, was fired from his position as lifeguard at Glenview Senior Public School because of his open homosexuality. After a hearing, on May 17, 1978, the Personnel and Organization Committee of the Toronto Board of Education reversed the dismissal. Argue did not seek reinstatement, however, but was later rehired by the board as an instructor for its summer swimming program.
