Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board
Wards 01, 02 & 15
Number to Elect: 1

Rating Comments

Acclaimed in the 2022 municipal elections. On March 1, 2022, Trustee Mark Valvasori rejected the very moral teaching of the Catholic Church that trustees are sworn to uphold, by actually instigating a 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 Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board for the entire month of June, which LGBT radicals have dubbed "pride-month".

Mark was acclaimed in 2018 Ontario municipal elections, thus keeping his trustee's seat, though the ward numbers were redistributed (previously Wards 1&2).

Mark answered CLC's 2010 questionnaire perfectly. However, his position on Dalton McGuinty's now-infamous 'Equity & Inclusive Education Strategy' was not confirmed at the time.

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) Responded 'Yes' to CLC's 2010 survey, but he contradicted this answer by reportedly telling a constituent he would support the anti-Catholic, gay Equity mandate which pressured Catholic schools to accept openly homosexual student clubs.
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? Responded 'Yes' to CLC's 2010 survey, but he contradicted this answer by reportedly telling a constituent he would support the anti-Catholic, gay Equity mandate which pressured Catholic schools to accept openly homosexual student clubs.
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? Responded 'Yes' to CLC's 2010 survey, but he contradicted this answer by reportedly telling a constituent he would support the anti-Catholic, gay Equity mandate which pressured Catholic schools to accept openly homosexual student clubs.
4. Will you oppose sex-ed programs which are contrary to Church teaching? Responded 'Yes' to CLC's 2010 survey, but he contradicted this answer by reportedly telling a constituent he would support the anti-Catholic, gay Equity mandate which pressured Catholic schools to accept openly homosexual student clubs.
5. Given that the Gay Pride flag is a controversial political symbol which contradicts Church teaching on marriage & human sexuality, will you oppose any and all proposals to fly the Gay Pride flag at Catholic schools, at the board office, or to acknowledge and celebrate June as “Pride month”? No (based on voting record)
6. Will you work to ensure that your Catholic school board enacts a policy requiring all agents and employees of the board to uphold the rights of custodial parents to direct and control the education of, and any medical treatment provided to, their dependent children attending its schools? Yes (2010)
7. Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion*? (*Note: a surgical or medical intervention designed to prevent the death of the mother but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) no response
