Sex Ed, GSAs and Religion in Publicly Funded Schools – an Educational Forum

April 2nd, 2011

On April 13, 2011, to commemorate the International Day of Pink, Queer Ontario is hosting an educational public forum to discuss how we can ‘make it better’ for students in schools across Ontario. At this forum speakers will be discussing how an updated Sex Ed Curriculum as well as support organizations like Gay Straight Alliances are necessary for the betterment of the lives of LGBTQ students as well as the student body on the …whole.

Speakers List TBA soon!

On the International Day of Pink, you are encouraged to wear pink to show that you are against bullying, discrimination and homophobia in our schools and communities. Come on out and join us at Jarvis Collegiate Institute (located at 495 Jarvis Street) from 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM for what is sure to be an exciting and interesting dialogue. Post-speakers, there will be an open Q & A/discussion period.

See you there!
