There have been schools in Calgary, Catholic or not, with students of various colours in them for many many decades.
If there was all white schools we could have that debate, but luckily that's not a thing here - because segregating kids is bad unless it's on religious dimensions I guess.

The underlying assumption that Catholic schools only have Catholic students is not factual. In areas constrained by capacity there is preferential treatments for baptized kids or kids with a baptized parent. In a non capacity constrained school anyone can attend. So any kid in Calgary can go to a Catholic school if they want. There is also no requirement to participate in religious activity thought there is the requirement to learn the teachings of Catholicism through religion class.
There is no segregation here
