Nova Scotia schools must play national anthem daily after student advocacy

Nova Scotia's Education minister has mandated that all public schools play the national anthem daily. This directive follows a letter from students concerned about its absence. The order aims for consistency across schools after a group of Grade 12 students advocated for the anthem's return, citing its importance for national pride and tradition. The new policy, effective immediately, requires principals to ensure "O Canada" is played at the start of each school day, promoting respect and reflection.
