Number to Elect: 1

Rating Comments

In May of 2022, Trustee Helena Karabela introduced a Sanctity of Life Fundraising motion that pro-abortion trustees eventually voted to kill based on a misguided interpretation of a regulation in the Education Act. On January 18, 2022, Ms. Karabela courageously voted against a disgraceful motion to fly the so-called "gay-pride" flag - that notorious symbol celebrating homoerotic fetishism (and genital mutilation in the case of transgenderism) - outside every single school in the Halton Catholic District School Board for the entire month of June, which LGBT radicals have dubbed "pride-month". Previously, in February 2018, she voted in favour of an excellent motion to protect the Sanctity of Life through school board financial donations.

Also, in September 2021, her motion to re-instate the Lord's Prayer in the morning exercises at HCDSB schools passed.



Helena's voting record as a Trustee has been exemplary. She gave perfect answers to CLC's questionnaire in the run-up to the 2014 school board election and again during the 2022 election cycle.

1. Will you work to ensure that your Board publicly promotes total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) Yes
2. Will you work to ensure that Catholic schools do not invite guest speakers who have publicly expressed positions that contradict the morality and teaching of the Church, no matter how great their achievements in politics, business, sports, science or the arts? Yes
3. Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? Yes
4. Will you oppose sex-ed programs which are contrary to Church teaching? Yes
