Western Québec School Board Explained

Western Québec School Board (WQSB, French: '''Commission scolaire Western Québec''') is an English-language school district based in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.^[1] It was formerly a Protestant school district. The chairperson is Wayne Daly, and the director general is George Singfield.^{[2] [3]}

History

The WQSB was created by a series of amalgamations of smaller school boards. In 1998, when Québec's religious school boards were replaced by linguistic boards, seven English-language schools formerly designated as Roman Catholic were transferred to the WQSB. School boards in Québec had been organized along confessional lines, Catholic and Protestant, since before Canadian Confederation.
