The
Vancouver (British Columbia) school board on April 18, 2005 “recognized
a student’s right to refuse to participate in or observe animal dissection,
and unanimously passed a student choice policy,” according to Lesley
Fox, founder of the Vancouver-based national anti-dissection network <www.FrogsAreCool.com>.
Fox said that Vancouver is the first Canadian city to adopt a student
choice policy, but added that a campaign seeking one “is currently
being initiated in Toronto.”
