Province Asked to Offer Free Period Products in Schools

A group including all four of Ontario's main teachers unions behind the campaign

The group made the call in an open letter to Education Minister Stephen Lecce today.

They say the products are a necessity, not a luxury, and a lack of access to them can lead to students missing school and work.

Some Ontario school boards have taken action on their own to offer free products, but the group is calling for the province to expand that to all 72 of its boards.
