Deliberations are currently underway by Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustees on what form inclusion of the Armenian Genocide curriculum will take in the next academic year's new "Genocide: Historical and Contemporary Implications" course designed for Grade 11 high school students of the Toronto area.

The curriculum was originally meant to include historical lessons and material on the Armenian Genocide, the Jewish Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide. Though it has been approved by Ontario's Minister of Education, it nevertheless came under fire after a group of Turkish Canadians, claiming to represent the interests of a majority of Turkish Canadians, began to criticize it.

(Throughout history the Welsh people have been the standard bearers of truth and human rights, so aptly represented by the Temple of Peace where this historic event took place).
