The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) says it will conduct a “thorough investigation” into reports that a local school used a Palestinian protest song in its Remembrance Day ceremonies on Nov. 11.

Sir Robert Borden High School allegedly played “Haza Salam” in Arabic during its ceremony. The song has become connected to protests about Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza.
