Ontario's Ministry of Education is investigating a Toronto District School Board (TDSB) field trip where students from 15 schools attended a protest about mercury contamination affecting a Northern First Nation community. The protest highlighted environmental and health concerns in the region, but the Ministry is questioning the appropriateness of the trip. The Education Minister has expressed concerns over the board's handling of the situation and is calling for accountability. The investigation will determine if proper protocols were followed.
