A fake camera found in a student washroom at White Pines Collegiate and Vocational School has sparked an investigation and raised concerns about privacy. The camera, which was quickly identified as a non-functioning prop with no recording or storage capabilities, was confiscated by school staff. While no privacy breach occurred, the incident has prompted a response from the Algoma District School Board, who have emphasized their commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful school environment. Fran Walsh, communications officer, assured that the board would never place or endorse cameras in washrooms or change rooms under any circumstances. The board praised the quick reporting by a student and the administration's immediate action, encouraging cooperation from students and families to address any concerns directly.
