Fix Our Schools believes that all Ontario children deserve to attend school in a safe, healthy, and well-maintained building. We encourage Toronto parents in these communities to contact their local MPP as well as Education Minister Stephen Lecce (stephen.lecce@pc.ola.org)and Premier Ford (use both his constituency email: Doug.fordco@pc.ola.org AND his premier email: premier@ontario.ca) to let them know the state of these schools is unacceptable and that you expect adequate and stable funding to be provided to school boards to be able to ensure all their schools are, indeed, safe, healthy and well-maintained buildings.
