Multiple schools across the OCDSB have reported dangerous levels of lead in drinking water. MPP Blais ask the Minister of Education why he and his government are allowing critical frontline education staff, such as custodians and tradespeople, to be laid off at a time when parents are losing trust and confidence in our education system.

The OCDSB is excited to be building a new elementary school with 674 pupil places, located in the East Urban community at 700 Spring Valley Drive. The New East Urban Community Elementary School will welcome students in September 2026.

To prepare for the opening of the new school, they must establish a boundary, define program offerings, and determine the initial grade configuration. They are seeking feedback on these topics from the community schools and the broader public.
