Laureen Harper and Heritage Minister, James Moore, are planned to make an announcement unveiling a new national anti-bullying strategy on Monday along with help from father of an openly gay Ottawa teen who committed suicide in 2011. Allan Hubley, an Ottawa city councilor, will be joining Harper and Moore in the announcement. Hubley’s 15-year-old son, Jamie, was the only openly gay student at his high school, who was bullied by his schoolmates and had to struggled with depression until he committed suicide.
The upcoming anti-bullying and anti-discrimination strategy has been evolved with partnership with the Canadian Red Cross and will be aimed at teaching thousands of young people to host anti-bullying workshops in their communities. The Canadian Press published a report alleging that trainees will be asked to commit to teaching 20 more kids with their message. The announcement is scheduled to take place at A.Y. Jackson High School in Kanata, Ont., which is the same school where Jamie used to go.
Jamie’s father, Allan Hubley, has previously mentioned in an interview that his son inspired him to take action. He alleged that “Jamie wanted to protect everybody, to give everybody a safe place to go so it wasn’t just Let’s protect gay children, it’s let’s have gay children and every other child together.” Ontario introduced the Accepting Schools Act, in light of Jamie’s suicide in 2011, which called on publicly funded schools to allow students to form so-called gay-straight alliance clubs.
