A Canadian school district wont risk field trips to the U.S. after Trumps executive order
A Canadian public school board is temporarily banning student travel into the United States, citing an uncertain political climate resulting from President Trump's now-frozen executive order on immigration.
The Greater Essex County District School Board of Windsor, Ontario, has canceled field trips to the United States through at least February, as first reported by the Windsor Star.
“Paramount for us is student safety,” Clara Howitt, a school board superintendent, told the newspaper. “We really don’t know what will happen to our students at the border.”
Windsor is only about two miles from Detroit, directly across the Detroit River in Ontario, about 230 miles southwest of Toronto. The Canadian city is so close to the border that it's a mere 10-minute drive north (yes, north) into the United States. Its proximity means it's not unusual for students in Windsor to take “international” field trips to attractions in Michigan.
