Bio
CLC rating: Pro-life
Rating Comments: On June 1, 2021, Trustee Greg Reitzel resigned his position with the WCDSB in protest against the horrendous decision by the Board's Administration to fly that notorious symbol of sexual sin, the gay Pride flag, at the Catholic Education Centre and at all Catholic schools in the WCDSB throughout the month of June.
Trustee Reitzel was the only Waterloo Trustee to support a proposed motion in 2014 to request that OECTA to withdraw its participation in the homosexual World Pride Parade, but the proposed motion received no support from fellow trustees. Greg has consistently upheld Catholic teaching as a trustee.

Here is Greg Reitzel's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Motion to condemn and/or retract OECTA's decision to participate in the 2014, World Gay Pride Parade [2014] The homosexual pride parade totally contradicts the beliefs of the Catholic Church about marriage & human sexualty. It celebrates gay sex and promotes the homosexual lifestyle as normal, natural, healthy and perfectly moral. The parade includes mock sex acts, sexual bondage and sadomasochism. It is a scandal for any Catholic to be seen supporting it, much less Catholic teachers who work as agents of the Church. |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Greg Reitzel on 2010.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| 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) | Yes (based on 2010 survey) |
| 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? | 2018 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? | 2018 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? | 2018 survey not sent |
| Will you oppose teachings and attitudes in the school setting that undermine respect for and the dignity of human life from conception to natural death? | Yes |
| Will you actively promote and defend the teaching of Catholic doctrine, the importance of prayer and a regular sacramental life? | Yes |
| 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? | Yes |
| Will you work to ensure that guest speakers, educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | Yes |
| Will you uphold, actively promote and defend the boards right to invite into its schools only those health personnel (e.g. nurses, counselors and other health professionals) who will respect Catholic Church teaching? | Yes |
| 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? | Yes |
| 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) | 2018 survey yet sent |
