Project Description

We are a grassroots, non-partisan, parent-led campaign creating a large network of citizens across Ontario who all expect that:

·      Every Ontario public school student attends a safe, well-maintained school

·      The $15-Billion of disrepair across all 72 Ontario school boards is addressed

·      Public schools are funded as critical to public infrastructure – on par with transit
