On May 24 at noon, join MPP for University-Rosedale, Jessica Bell, alongside parents, students, educators, education workers, and community members from across Ontario to say: Enough. It’s time to invest in public education.

  • Date: Saturday, May 24, 2025
  • Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm
  • Location: Queen’s Park, South Lawn (111 Wellesley St W, Toronto)

This is a family-friendly, accessible rally. Bring your kids, your colleagues, your signs, and your voice.

Ontario’s public schools are in crisis. Chronic underfunding has led to larger class sizes, cancelled programs, delayed repairs, and a growing crisis in special education. Since 2018, Ontario has been spending $1,500 less per student when adjusted for inflation. That adds up to a $3 billion shortfall across our education system.

We’re calling on the government to reverse the cuts and properly invest in public education.

This will be a family-friendly, accessible rally featuring speakers from the communities most impacted by the cuts including students, educators, and parents.

Speakers will highlight issues like:

  • Special education cuts
    Mental health supports
  • Program cancellations (pools, arts, adult education)

RSVP & Share the Facebook Event

Bring a group from your school, union, or community

Spread the word in your networks

Together, we can make sure our message is loud and clear. Support our kids. Fund public education.
