I’m very proud of the work we were able to get done together in Guelph. I hope more municipalities can move towards better inclusion, and we get stronger legislation at the provincial and federal levels.

Councillor Caton @CouncillorCaton 4d

I did an accessibility town hall as a wrap up of work that @cityofguelph has done, with details of issues in all layers of government and how that impacts the municipal system. It’s now online and available for others to learn how you can push for change. youtu.be/F5e_KkkEU5Y

When my kid has to leave school because she’s having a nose bleed because of perfumed products worn by other kids, are they going to be sent home because they forcing her grade down unless I pay for a doctors note each time?

Jill Promoli @jillpromoli Jun 30

Can we have explicit confirmation that a doctor’s note will now be required to excuse a student’s absence due to illness?

For a fever?
For vomiting?

Clarity is vital here. My child died as a result of illness in the classroom and I would like to know.

How does a full ban approach help kids who use social media as their lifelines to connect with others like them? The neurodivergent and queer kids in small towns with no other resources? Kids with unsupportive families? Kids with abusive parents?

We can all agree that kids should be protected.

Big tech and AI platform are targeting young people before their brains are fully developed. Manitoba is taking action by banning social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16.

It’s about taking back control over our kids eduction, socialization and in the long term, taking back control of our democracy. 🇨🇦

I’m also #OneOfTheTwo maskers still out there because I am high risk for respiratory viruses, want to parent my child and I’m the financial head of my household. No one owes you an explanation for their personal health risk choices at the grocery store.

#oneofthetwo maskers @jonstewart was mocking. I mask because my partner's one covid infection gave him long covid; it took him a year to feel close to normal again. & bc like most people I don't have a plan B for what happens if I can't work. I don't want to get or spread covid.
