Volunteering helps students gain experience, build connections, and give back to their communities. To encourage even more student involvement, our government is introducing a Minister’s Certificate of Recognition for students who volunteer for 50+ hours. Thanks to all the young

Great to join colleagues to celebrate Italian Heritage Month at Queen’s Park last night. It was an opportunity to recognize Italian culture and enjoy some amazing food.

I’ve been clear: school boards must put students first. When they fail to meet that responsibility, we will act decisively. The legislation I introduced last week, if passed, would allow me to step in quickly when a board strays from its core mission.

It was great to catch up with Ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe to discuss how we can continue supporting students, parents, and teachers and ensure school boards are focused on providing maximum resources for our students in the classroom.
