Ontario is heading toward a major teacher shortage. Only 30% of teachers are under 40, and schools struggle daily w/ staff shortages. Years of underfunding and fewer supports are driving people away. Ontario needs a real recruitment plan so students can get the education they deserve.

1 in 5 Ontario workers earn less than a living wage â and itâs women & racialized workers who are hit hardest. Instead of investing in people, the PC government keeps cutting... Ontario deserves FAR better than a race to the bottom.

Barely hanging on - CCPA
More than a million workers in Ontario do not earn a living wage where they liveâespecially women and racialized workers. We calculated this estimate using the 10 hourly living wage rates released by the Ontario Living Wage Network (OLWN) and applied them as a threshold across the province.
