Hi guys. I hope this is okay. Ontario kids are having a hard time. I agree with the recommendations released by Toronto Sick Kids hospital about reopening schools. I created a petition on change.org hoping if enough parents are heard, kids mental health will stop being sidelined. I am putting a large amount of academic work into this and would greatly appreciate any time spent having a read or giving a share. Thanks.

The survey has already begun and closed. They are still restricted based on closures which are provincial level decisions and local public health decisions. Today the ocdsb began a meeting at 6pm that I believed included Dr. Etches. I am looking forward to what comes of it. I have been keeping my petition updated with the news, feel free to read without signing :)
We are making amazing progress towards getting kids back at school while having their needs and rights protected. Yesterday the ontario human Rights commision released this letter to Min. Lecce which is a great step forward! Please keep pushing, please consider signing and sharing the petition. Thank you.
