@wrdsb @ONEKCI @theduckbrand Voted. Your story is an inspiration to all. Best wishes and good luck.

Grade 3 students in Whitehorse's Elijah Smith Elementary School braved -28°C temperature and danced Bhangra with me for joy, hope and positivity. We are sharing this pure joy with all school children across Canada and beyond.

Real freedom- is protecting the people- who are unable to protect themselves. Real freedom, is about community and tolerance and teamwork. Real freedom, is about having knowledge and the wisdom to wield it to help others.

Canadians,

All of us need to help NOW.

Each person who avoids getting infected or infecting someone else TODAY prevents more than 100 people getting infected in the next 3 weeks.

Preventing 100 infections prevents 1 hospitalization.

Whenever you have a choice, think of this.

[Canadian Paediatric Society @CanPaedSociety]

The @CanPaedSociety, @PedsOntario, and the Pediatric Section of @OntariosDoctors urge Ontario to open schools no later than Jan 17.
"The deteriorating health and well-being of children & youth is also a public health emergency."

Dr. @kwadwo777 says that schools "should be an essential service" and that closing them down has been shown to have a detrimental impact on kids' mental and physical health. "If we can keep Amazon factories open, if we can keep malls open, we can serve our kids," he said.

[Dr. Ripudaman S. Minhas MD MPH @RipudamanMinhas]

From the UNCRC:
-Children have the RIGHT to #education + safety
-Students with learning exceptionalities + #disabilities have the RIGHT to #specialeducation supports

Neither of these translates effectively to a virtual space.

Virtual learning widens disparities.

We need to start getting serious about RATs

Sprinkling RATs to a small portion of cities in Ontario, in limited quantities during business hours, and expecting people to line up in the middle of winter is inhumane

Do the right thing: #FreeTheRATs in a safe & equitable way

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

there is $450 weekly support for parents that have to stay home to care for their child — especially for those that may miss more than half the work week because of illness/isolation.

please share/send to any families not on twitter.

Doctors like Ripudaman Singh Minhas, developmental pediatrician at Unity Health Toronto, are concerned about kids' ability to succeed in school amid changing COVID-19 restrictions that keep them out of in-person class.

Children are the ones who once again suffer.
