I'm going to write a letter to the Government of Canada in my language today to ask them to fully implement the Spirit Bear Plan and to respond fully to the the TRC's 94 Calls to Action!

You can also write letters to them and here are examples you can use!

A PDSB student with Autism walked away from school and no one noticed. A stranger found him and called home. Tell me again how there is enough support in schools #educationworkersmatter

Over 100 “Link Leaders” (senior student volunteers) at my school ran an awesome 1st day for our grade 9s. They even spent 2 of their last days of summer in a hot gym preparing.
No one outside of my school community will thank them, but Steven Lecce is being congratulated. #OntEd

Matt Damon gets it.

I also enjoy the “you knew what you were getting into before you took job”. Umm no. Been an EA for 20 yrs-my wage kept pace with inflation until 2012-since then govts have froze my wage, imposed contracts & consistently interfered with my rights. That wasn’t part of the deal b4

[Ontario Principals' Council @OPCouncil]

Education workers meet all our children’s educational needs.

But because we pay them only 39K on average, thousands are on the brink of poverty.

Tell Ford that 39K is not enough.

Dear @Sflecce:
I wish you could understand how unsettling, nerve-wracking, *insert uneasy synonym here* it is to approach a new school year as a parent of a special needs child. But you won’t. You may have read a handful of briefings or listened to colleagues tell you

Toronto can pay $300,000,000 to host 5 soccer games but can't house 16,000 homeless people?

As Ontario eliminates licence renewal fees, the province still has not eliminated the wait list for autism services which now stands at over 50,000 children.

How about everyone in Toronto puts on scrubs this weekend in support of healthcare workers?
