Music students from Reynolds Secondary School march across Borden Street on Thursday, April 22, 2021, as part of a protest against proposed cuts to school music programs in the Greater Victoria School District. Similar rallies were held outside several middle and secondary schools across the district, which is facing a $7-million budget deficit. The school board has been discussing cuts in several areas, including music programs, education assistants, meal programs and programs for gifted students.
