Principal’s Day at Queen’s Park
Last week our provincial executive took part in our annual lobby day at Queen’s Park. We met with 32 MPPs from all parties, including Minister Lecce, the Leader of the Official Opposition Marit Stiles, the Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party Bonnie Crombie and the Leader of the Green Party Mike Schreiner. The main issue we discussed was staff shortages, but we also heard from them about education-related concerns in their ridings.
