Murray Sinclair. A great man. This is so rare - a truly great man. He changed our society. He made all of us think about others and about ourselves in a new and better way. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Murray Sinclair stood for justice, truth to the end

From the courthouse to the Senate, he challenged racism, championed Indigenous rights and sought reconciliation

It’s #LocalGovWeek, but it’s not just about staff or elected officials – it’s about civic engagement, too. Democracy flourishes when people on both sides of the Council table participate & use their voice. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. #MakeADifference

📢DYK #LocalGovWeek is Oct. 21 to 25? School board trustees are the oldest form of elected representative in Ontario. They are locally-elected and are the community’s advocate of public education. 📹Watch as we highlight SCDSB trustees and the importance of their role.

Moratorium on school closures eating into 'limited school renewal funding': ministry docs

Briefings prepared for the education minister also said school boards don't get dedicated funding to modernize schools — something they believe would be helpful

"The student impact is that students don't have the best education opportunities that they would have if we didn't have to use our reserves or if we were properly funded," @kwoodck (@OPSBA) tells @allisonjones_cp #onted #onpoli tvo.org/article/more-ontario…

More Ontario school boards in deficit, using reserves: Ministry documents

The association representing school boards in the province says that, while the PC government has boosted the education budget, increases have not kept pace with inflation.
