A school division in Saskatchewan has issued an apology after a cross-dressing activity was held at one of its schools.

The Horizon School Division posted the statement on its website on Jan. 24, saying it had just been made aware of the event.

“Horizon School Division was made aware today of a spirit day activity at one of our schools involving boys dressing as girls, and girls dressing as boys,” the statement said.

“The intent of the spirit day was to be lighthearted and positive, and in no way to negatively represent any gender.”
