What amazing supporters we have! You have made real change possible. As a large, connected network, we’ve been able to:
- Increase annual provincial funding for school repairs from $150-million/year to $1.4-billion/year.
- Convince the Ministry of Education to release school disrepair data and update this powerful information annually.
Obtain the personal commitment of 58 newly elected MPPs to develop a standard of good repair for Ontario schools and to commit the adequate, stable funding needed to achieve those standards.
You photograph disgusting conditions at your local schools, send us riveting stories, petition your local politicians and engage with us on social media, which amplifies our message. Together we achieve more. THANK YOU!
When Fix Our Schools began in 2014 in the west end of Toronto, we naively thought disrepair in schools and substandard learning conditions were only a local issue.
By 2015, we realized that every single one of Ontario’s school boards was negatively impacted by school disrepair. In fact, we uncovered that there was a total repair backlog of $15-billion in Ontario’s schools. That amount has grown over time, and continues to grow.
Thankfully, we have discovered that people across the province care deeply about this issue and our base of support also continues to grow each day. Together, we will continue to make real change on the issue of disrepair in Ontario’s schools. Together, we will truly Fix Our Schools.
