Stop the cuts to OSAP: By gutting OSAP grants and paving the way for fee hikes, the government is forcing students to choose between an education and a lifetime of debt. It’s time to get Ontario’s youth out of this vicious cycle so they can get ahead.
Reinvest in Post-Secondary Education: Publicly-funded colleges and universities are essential to building a strong, resilient and labour-ready workforce that can meet market demands. Ontario has the lowest per-student post-secondary funding in Canada, and massive layoffs, program closures and service cuts are having detrimental effects on students, staff, and faculty alike. The government needs to implement a permanent increase to base funding for Ontario’s colleges and universities.
Stop the Takeovers, Fund Education: The government needs to fund Ontario's public education system adequately, respect local democracy, and stop playing political games with the wellbeing of our children.
Address the Child Care Crisis in Ontario: Provide immediate and adequate operating funding to childcare centres to cover their costs and fund wage increases to keep and recruit staff; and Establish a robust capital funding program to facilitate the expansion of non-profit and public child care facilities to meet the need for high quality childcare.
Support Consent Awareness Week: Support the Consent Awareness Week Act and make Ontario a leader in making the places where we live, work, and learn safer for everybody.
Petition to improve air quality for our children: Petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to require the Ministry of Education to begin to take action to improve air quality for our children by supporting and adopting the Improving Air Quality for Our Children Act, 2023.
Stop Bill 33: Provide Ontario colleges and universities with the financial stability and sustainability they urgently require to meet enrolment demand and advance Ontario’s economic, social and cultural well-being.
