Parent Share

Discussion ensued at the October meeting regarding the Provincial Government’s announcement to put a hold on the 2018-2019 PRO-GRANT project applications. Link here to the video ( 34 minutes into video) for the exchange about Pro Grants during Question Period. You can provide feedback to the government on this and other areas in the education system. There are 3 ways to participate. This is open to everyone and we encourage you to share the information with all parents so as many people as possible take advantage of this opportunity to provide their thoughts about Education in Ontario. https://www.ontario.ca/page/for-the-parents
