Board Regrets Staffer's Comment

The catholic school board is expressing regret  to three students at Pope John Paul the Second school who were offended by the remark of a staffer.   The board says the staff member was referring to the last week's fire on the James Street Bridge.   The students are from the Fort William First Nation and they were asked if they had purchased some beef jerky before or after the bridge fire.   The board says it has spoken with the families of both students about the incident and looking at the matter very closely.
