A Toronto teacher is turning a disappointing Halloween shopping trip into a teachable moment for his students, after finding costumes that promote cultural stereotypes of Indigenous people. Denis Bell, a Grade 6 French immersion teacher at Davisville Junior Public School, wrote about his experience in a Facebook post. He had gone to Party City to buy some supplies he needs to make his son's Halloween costume. Tonight at Party City, I realized they too would like some money in exchange for our amusement." Party City had not responded to a request for comment from CBC Toronto by Wednesday evening.
