Trustee Paul Turner
Niagara Catholic District School Board, ON
Electoral District: Welland
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-lgbt ideology
Rating Comments: On June 20, 2023, Trustee Turner voted against a common sense Motion that would have banned the use of partisan and special-interest flags, banners, and other paraparaphernalia from being displayed by the NCDSB. The Motion was put forward at the very time that the notorious homosexual / transgender Pride Flag was flying in the Board, and its passage would have ended the scandalous domination of Pride over the NCDSB. Nevertheless, six out of the eight Board trustees voted against the Motion, thus permitting the sin-laden Pride Flag to continue holding sway over the Board.
In May 2021, Trustee Turner 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 secondary schools in the Niagara board (see Votes tab).
Acclaimed in 2018.

Here is Paul Turner's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Motion to fly the Gay Pride flag at school board headquarters In total opposition to Catholic doctrine, this motion sought to ensure that the Gay Pride flag would be flown at School Board Headquarters. |
Supported |  |
| Motion to fly the Gay Pride flag at various Catholic schools in the board In total opposition to Catholic doctrine, this motion sought to ensure that the Gay Pride flag would be flown at various Catholic schools in the board. |
Supported | |
| Motion to cancel a fellow Trustee for being faithful to Catholic teaching This motion's intent was to weaponize the Board's Code of Conduct in a grossly anti-democratic fashion, for the purpose of silencing and punishing a fellow school board trustee for simply having defended the Catholic faith and for having dared to oppose anti-Christian secular ideology which was infiltrating the Catholic school board. In addition to undermining the very purpose of Catholic education, a vote in favor of this motion is doubly wrong because it effectively overturns the result of a democratic election in which Catholic ratepayers elected the persecuted trustee for the very purpose of vocally representing their values. |
Supported | |
| Motion that the NCDSB develop a Partisan, Political or Social Advocacy Activities Policy This principled Motion by faithful Catholic Trustee Natalia Benoit would have banned the display of partisan, political, or social policy-promoting flags, banners, posters, and other paraphernalia at the School Board. One of the immediate benefits of the Motion, had it passed, would have been to end the display of the anti-Catholic, homosexual / transgender Pride flag at the Board. Yet in spite of its merits, the common-sense Motion was defeated by a vote of 6 to 2 [June 20, 2023]. |
Opposed | |
| Motion that the Niagara Catholic District School Board amend its Flag Flying Protocol to specify that the Pride Flag shall not be flown on school properties or district offices This principled motion by faithful Catholic Trustee Natalia Benoit would have specifically banned the display of the homosexual / transgender Pride Flag at the Niagara Catholic District School Board. This motion was especially courageous and meritorious because it specifically singled out the odious, anti-Christian Pride Flag for exclusion from school board. Yet in spite of its merits, the common-sense motion was defeated by a vote of 5 to 2 [Oct. 22, 2024]. |
Opposed | |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Paul Turner on 2018.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| 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? | survey not sent |
| 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? | survey not sent |
| 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? | survey not sent |
| 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? | survey not sent |
| 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? | survey not sent |
| 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) | survey not sent |
