  • The children of Attawapiskat are taking their fight to Ottawa. They will be in Ottawa on May 28 for a press conference calling for a direct meeting with Chuck Strahl. The Ontario High School Teachers Federation is co-hosting an event for them in 371 West Block at noon. On May 29 they will march in the national Day of Action. We now have over 100 schools active in the campaign.
