Intermittent night closures start Oct. 4 on Stouffville Rd, Bayview Ave to Leslie St, to ensure safe crossing of the endangered Jefferson Salamanders. They only cross during rainy nights. @myRichmondHill @TRCA_HQ #onYRRoads https://t.co/Ja6ghkOxSN

Add your name to the call! Demand that @OCT_OEEO be fiscally responsible and that they reverse the 17.6% fee increase. The bloated bureaucracy needs to be addressed along with the empty building on Bloor St.

Are you looking for school announcements for Black History Month? Here are some sample ones for every school day in February.

Adapt as needed for your population.

Enjoy! https://t.co/r9NNdqnq4I #OntEd #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackBrilliance

Thanks to a freedom of info request from provincial #OSSTF we now know how much @fordnation spent on a few ads misleading parents about back to school:

$3 MILLION

That could’ve paid for over 40,000 hours of teacher time with students.

Because I’m just a big, fat, giant snowflake— I’ll be wearing a mask in public places for the kids and their families- who are seriously struggling right now.

Corporate profits continue to rise — and guess what else is higher? Your grocery bill.

In one year:

Pasta up 20%
Coffee up 14.6%
Fresh fruit up 11.7%

Inflation is being driven by corporate greed. And you're paying the price.

The lowest paid education workers took on the Ford Conservatives and won.

Bill 28 will be repealed.

Now it's time for a good deal.

First they came for the environment, but I did not speak out because it was not my backyard. Then they came for healthcare, but I did not speak out because I was not sick. Then they came for labour and education…but….#EnoughlsEnough! #CUPE #negotiatenotlegislate

Conservatives: Trudeau has made everything so expensive, we can't afford homes, food, and gas...

Also Conservatives: No, we don't think you should get paid a bit more.
