question each candidate on education
Education Day, Sept 20, is our chance to get to know our candidates in advance of October 6th Ontario’s election day. On Tuesday Sept 20th local candidates from all provincial parties will be questioned on the issues affecting public education.”
In each riding across Ontario, Trustees of public school boards, including TDSB, will host open forums at their local schools encouraging voters to engage local provincial election candidates on education matters.
Says the TDSB: “On this day, we urge candidates to tell Toronto voters what they plan to do to renew and support our aging schools and make every day “education day” for Toronto’s children.”
Choose the candidates meeting location near you. If you are unsure of your Electoral District, you can determine your riding here. Arm yourself with a question or two about your own top concerns about public education. Check out the joint election platform of CPE groups here.
