Trustee Jeremy Wittet
Ottawa Catholic School Board, ON
Electoral District: Zone 07 (Wards 7 & 15)
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-lgbt ideology
Rating Comments: In May 2021, Trustee Wittet betrayed the duties of a Catholic trustee to uphold the Faith when he voted in favour of an outlandish, anti-Catholic motion to fly the homosexual Pride flag at the Catholic Education Centre and all Catholic schools in the Ottawa board (see Votes tab).
Mr. Wittet won the trustee's seat by acclamation during the 2018 Ontario municipal elections. He has previously run for trustee in the public school system (Ottawa-Carleton District School Board; Grand Erie District School Board) but had never responded to CLC's election questionnaire.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Jeremy Wittet on 2018.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is an infection that is transmitted through sex. Will you therefore oppose HPV vaccination in schools because it sends the message to students, teachers and parents that obedience to Church teaching on abstinence before marriage is neither expected nor necessary? | no response (2010) |
| Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | no response (2010) |
| Will you work to ensure that Catholic schools do not invite guest speakers who have publicly expressed positions that contradict the morality and teaching of the Church, no matter how great their achievements in politics, business, sports, science or the arts? | no response (2010) |
| Will you personally uphold and work toward the public promotion of total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) | No (see vote record) |
| Will you actively promote and defend the teaching of Catholic doctrine, the importance of prayer and a regular sacramental life? | No (see vote record) |
| Will you work against any attempt to expand the sex-ed program in the Catholic Schools which is contrary to Church teaching, such as the one which included oral sex, masturbation and homosexuality, recently offered by the Ministry? | no response (2010) |
| Will you work to ensure that your Catholic school board enacts a policy requiring all agents and employees of the board to uphold the rights of custodial parents to direct and control the education of, and any medical treatment provided to, their dependent children attending its schools? | no response (2010) |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion*? (*Note: a surgical or medical intervention designed to prevent the death of the mother but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) | no response (2010) |
