Two Ontario teachers who say they were fired for not celebrating LGBT pride at school will have their case heard before the provincial labour relations board.

Matt and Nicole Alexander allege they were suspended and then fired from the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) in October of 2023 for declining to participate in and affirm LGBT events and policies at their schools, according to the non-profit Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is providing them with legal aid.
