We call on the Government of Ontario to immediately develop and publish a comprehensive, evidence-based provincial strategy to address the challenges facing boys and young men, including their educational success, economic participation, mental health, and social well-being, and to report publicly on progress.

Since before Confederation, Christians from different denominations helped build the foundations of the province we know today. These early pioneers, including farmers, teachers, homemakers, tradespeople, and local leaders, established schools, hospitals, civic institutions, and social traditions that shaped the cultural and democratic character of early Upper Canada.
