Ontario students deserve better.
Safety should be prioritized, not politicized.
We are parents, education workers, front-line workers, lawyers, engineers and doctors demanding the Ontario government provide students and education workers with safe, stable, in-person learning spaces.
Indoor air quality standards, transparency, public education, and expert-informed policy are critical to keep schools open and communities healthy.
We are fighting for every student who deserves a safe education and every education worker who deserves a healthy workplace. This should not be controversial. Ontario deserves better.
