School Magazine: Fighting Apathy in Ontario’s Election – Why This Vote Matters More Than Ever

School Magazine

In my role as an education advocate, I have had the opportunity to visit schools across Toronto, speaking with teachers, education workers, and administrators. Over and over again, I hear the same concerns—overwhelming workloads, burnout, and a struggle to recruit and retain teachers. Schools are collapsing under the weight of underfunding, and the results are undeniable: children with Individual Education Plans  (IEPs) not receiving the support they need, growing class sizes, and staff being stretched to their limits. These are not isolated issues. They are the direct result of seven years of cuts under Doug Ford.
