Education Reform

Education reform is being driven by the Government of Ontario. Please make yourself aware of the changes and how they will effect you, your family and community.

In this section you will find a variety of tools to assist you to make you voice heard about the proposed changes to our education system.

Please feel free to adapt documents to your own personal situation. These are simply a guideline to get you going.
