Progress is moving along well here! We are now at nearly 200 signatures, and increasing steadily. Just had an article passed on to me from the Waterloo Record. As Catholic enrollment decreases, and non-Catholics are being added to fill empty seats, it seems increasingly hard to justify full funding for the Catholic system at the expense of other schools. It appears, to me, that these Catholic schools are operating essentially the same as any other independent school in Ontario, or the rest of Canada. Since other provinces provide equal funding to all independent schools, then it’s time for Ontario to equalize as well. Let’s make this the year that we make the change! Please share widely and help build support for this issue. Thanks! 🙂
