Sanderson wants smaller class sizes, more funding for janitorial services in schools, alternative learning options for immunocompromised students. She joined other Canadians who are pushing back against their provincial governments back-to-school plans. #safeschoolscanada #skpoli

Spotted in front of Gord Wyant’s office in #Saskatoon. School starts in two weeks. #safeschoolscanada #yxe #skpoli

Remember how I mentionned weeks ago that several Saskatchewan moms told me they had to stop working in order to take care of their kids. Sanderson is one of those moms. She says she’s had to close her business. "I am an educated woman with experience. I can’t work." #skpoli

Sanderson: "We are the ones being kept outside the workforce." #skpoli #safeschoolscanada #covid19sk
