Schools not planning to tune in for King Charles coronation

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Apr, 2023 11:34 AM
  • Schools not planning to tune in for King Charles coronation

King Charles is set to be formally crowned on May 6th, but unlike Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953, most school boards across Canada are not planning to tune in.

Nathan Tidridge with the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada says schools are missing out on a chance for students a chance to learn about the monarchy while still acknowledging mixed feelings about its place within Canadian society and governance.

He also says it is the perfect chance to launch conversations on things like the history of colonial structures and Crown-Indigenous relationships.
