The Ministry has responded quickly to help Toronto’s Catholic School Board address a recently discovered $9 Million deficit.

Yet this same Ministry seems content to sit idly by while the TDSB struggles to address a $3.5 Billion backlog of repairs and maintenance. The TDSB could use some help too please. Our children deserve to attend school in well-maintained buildings and if the TDSB cannot address it on their own – then send in the cavalry!

Could public schools get same treatment as transit?

Great news today about transit in Toronto – the Ontario government may get more involved in the TTC and may actually pay for some of its operating expenses.

Equally great news is that our mayor-elect is already developing a positive working relationship with Queen’s Park. Hallelujah! A good working relationship between the City and Province is critical if we want to see public education get the same treatment as transit – namely more involvement and attention from both the City and the Province!
