Students plan walkouts at Ontario schools to protest government cuts

Representatives at more than 800 schools from Kenora to Windsor have registered for Thursday’s demonstration, which is set to kick off at 1:15 p.m.

In a detailed “Walkout Organizer’s Guide” available online, the organizers of the #StudentsSayNo protest thank participants “for being the loud and bright fireworks amidst a dark and quiet sky.”

globetoronto Good for them! Very good reason to protest.

globetoronto Are you a teacher, do you know what it's like to teach in overcrowded classroom? Teachers need support not uneducated criticism.

globetoronto Smells like a union initiative
