When Fix Our Schools began in 2014, we all wanted to improve our own children’s learning environment. Our group saw that our local Toronto schools were in shocking condition and that our school board had a massive repair backlog.
By 2015, we realized that every single one of Ontario’s school boards had a similar backlog, for a total of $15 Billion. That amount has grown over time.
But so have the number of people of Ontario who have supported the Fix Our Schools campaign. From every walk of life and every political persuasion, people have helped Fix Our Schools:
• FOS receives photos of disrepair from students, caretakers, architects, skilled tradespeople, teachers & parents.
• Families send us stories about the impact that poor school conditions have on their children.
• Many people send us news stories via social media.

• Thousands of people have written to their local Member of Provincial Parliament about school conditions, or encouraged MPP’s to sign our pledge for a State of Good Repair Standard for Ontario schools.
Your support of Fix Our Schools allows us to continue. Thank you!
