In a November 17, 2015 Government of Ontario news release, schools were noted as infrastructure!
“The government is investing more than $130 billion over 10 years in infrastructure such as roads, bridges, transit, hospitals and schools — the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history.”
Fix Our Schools considers public school buildings to be important public infrastructure. We are heartened to see our provincial government agree with us and start to refer to schools as infrastructure! This certainly confirms that the ask in our most recent letter-writing campaign to the Province is valid and reasonable:
“Will you increase funding of school infrastructure, given the promised new infrastructure funding from the federal government?”
