Listening to the @JustinTrudeau Back to school press conference. He says school matters, and getting them back to school safely with confident parents really matters. He tells a story of a family concerned w/going back to school; they want a #SafeSeptember. #topoli #onted #onpoli

.@JustinTrudeau says we must follow all local public health advice, and to provide the funding necessary to take action for a #SafeSeptember. The federal government is investing up to $2 billion through the Safe Return to Class fund. Our children must be our top priority. #onted

The announcement is designed to support Provincial Governments, and is flexible for provinces to use towards PPE or remote learning or anything else school related. Also announcing $112 million for First Nations Schools. #cdnpoli #Onpoli #onted #topoli

.@JustinTrudeau spoke to Dr. Tam yesterday about Back to School; it's top of mind for all of us. Students, teachers & staff must be safe and parents must be confident they'll be able to back to work with their children being safe. #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli #Onted

They will work with provinces and territories so the funding can flow ASAP. Trudeau thanks everyone who has contributed to a safe back to school. It's work that matters to all Canadians. #topoli #Onpoli #Onted #cdnpoli

Spoke to all premiers recently about Back to School. Fighting #covid19 is a Team Canada effort which will continue into the fall. #cdnpoli #onted #topoli #onpoli

.@JustinTrudeau notes that he has heard all across Canada that parents are worried about a #SafeSeptember and wanted to step in to help. The money will be sent to provinces so they can do even more to ensure a #SafeSeptember. #topoli #Onpoli #Onted
