A petition started by a student at Waterloo-Oxford Secondary School has been presented in the Ontario Legislature.
Michael Whitehead wants the Ontario government to get moving and reach an agreement with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation to prevent a public high school teachers strike in Waterloo Region.
The petition was presented yesterday by Kitchener-Conestoga MPP Michael Harris.
Harris says “Here in Waterloo Region, the uncertainty surrounding a local strike is causing great concern and stress for students and parents who are afraid this will affect the academic year.”
Public high school teachers in Durham, Peel and the Sudbury area are already on strike.
