Dear Community,
On Sunday evening CUPE, the union representing education support workers in Ontario's schools, reached a tentative agreement with the government on wages. As a result, schools will continue to operate normally while negotiations continue.
I am disappointed that the Ford government continues to drag out this process through their resistance to providing these educational workers with the compensation that they deserve for their irreplaceable role in our schools.
Dear Community,
Our health care system needs to work better for everyone, but there are some folks that have always struggled to get essential care.
On Thursday, I was I was proud to stand with my fellow MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam as a co-sponsor to their Gender Affirming Healthcare Act, which would ensure all trans, non-binary & gender-diverse Ontarians have access to the affirming, LIFE-SAVING healthcare they need & deserve.
Dear Community,
This week is Transgender Awareness Week, and I hope you'll join me in honouring and celebrating all two-spirit, trans, and gender diverse folks! Let's commit together to learning about trans history and resisting transphobia.
