91ÑÇÉ«

Ontario votes on June 07! What issues matter to 91ÑÇÉ« students and what do they think about the candidates?

On May 7, 2018, four YouthREX Youth Research Assistants who are all undergraduate students at 91ÑÇÉ« (three LAPS students - two of who are BSW students) attended  hosted by Laidlaw Foundation, TVO, For Youth Initiative, and Twitter Canada. Leaders from three of Ontario's political parties described their platforms and answered audience questions. Of course, one of the students asked Kathleen Wynne about 91ÑÇɫ’s strike! They wrote blogposts sharing their thoughts and experiences about the candidates and issues they want to see addressed.
