Petition to Amalgamate Ontario's School System

Mark Daye, GPO Toronto Ctr.

I've started a petition to amalgamate the two school systems in Ontario. Eleven years ago, in 1999 the United Nations Human Rights Committee stated that Ontario's policy on education was wrong and yet we still have separate schools systems today.




It's time to change that.

As CBC reported on November 5, 1999; The United Nations human rights committee says Ontario's policy of fully funding Roman Catholic schools, while denying full funding to other religious schools, is discriminatory.

In moving to comply with the ruling Ontario could do one of two things; extend funding to other religious schools, or end funding to Roman Catholic schools.

Please sign the petition and circulate widely. It's time for real equality in Ontario!
