Living my truth

Education Forum goes digital! The digital edition of #EducationForum is officially launched and our first feature is of Pat Wright - a trailblazing educator, equity leader, and union pioneer. She was the first Black elected official to the OSSTF/FEESO Provincial Executive, representing members nationally and internationally.

Pat's poem creates space for reflection, emotion, and meaning, especially when conversations about censorship feel charged or complex.

This piece invites readers to pause, reflect, and engage before moving into analysis and debate.

Stay tuned on our social media for more phenomenal #EducationForum articles and features and also visit https://t.co/yVWDMfdhOX

June is National Indigenous History Month. This is a time for people in Canada to come together and celebrate First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples; a time to reflect on, listen and learn from the diverse experiences and knowledge of Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island and recognize their contributions - past and present.

For many Canadians, the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada was, and in some cases still is - unknown due to a history of colonization. We use this month as a time to reflect on the past and look to the future.

Together we can amplify the voices and strengths of Indigenous youth, leaders and communities by highlighting their contributions and showing up to affirm calls for change.

A new report from the @ccpa reveals that Ontario’s education funding shortfall has continued to grow, reaching $6.4 billion since 2018.

The outcomes of these cuts have been:

➡️increased waitlists for special education supports
➡️under resourced classrooms
➡️aging infrastructure
➡️no reduction in class sizes
➡️anti-racism programs and additional supports for students from lower-income are eliminated

We can't fix schools without funding them.

Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people, also known as Red Dress Day.

We honour those who are missing and those whose lives were taken, and we stand with their families, loved ones, and communities.

This crisis is ongoing and rooted in colonial violence, racism, and misogyny. Awareness is not enough.

Wear red.
Learn the truth.
Support Indigenous-led organizations.
Demand justice and real, sustained action from all levels of government.

Gender equality can only be achieved if #AllWomen and girls are included.

This means #LGBTIQ+ women too! Your voice is your power – raise it!

Together, we can create a truly free and equal world for all.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk -- yeah, and people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths ... it already is costing lives"
