“Given that curling rinks and hockey arenas receive federal infrastructure money, how much will the government be prepared to invest in repairing and rebuilding Canadian public schools, a critical element of our country’s social infrastructure?”
Our Federal government has not traditionally provided any funding for public schools. However, this doesn’t make it right! There are 5-million children who attend Canadian public schools and many more who attend childcare programs in these same buildings. They all deserve safe, well-maintained buildings. Federal infrastructure money could help.
