ONTARIO’S CHALLENGE: DENOMINATIONAL RIGHTS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION* Dawn Zinga Brock University Denominational rights in education have a long and controversial history within Canada. Ontario has struggled with denomination rights and continues to face the challenges posed by accommodating denominational rights. This paper examines those challenges and considers the future of denominational rights in Ontario, in light of John Tory‘s 2007 election campaign platform to extend funding to all faith-based schools or to none. It includes a consideration of the historical roots of denominational rights, their expression throughout Canada, the conflicts between denominational rights and the Charter, the media storm that surrounded the faith-based funding campaign, and proposed solutions to the question of denominational rights in Ontario. Introduction Denominational rights in education have been an issue of contention since the creation of Canada. The question of how education was to be established was one of the most difficult questions to address during the process of the formation of Canada (Brophy, 1894) and at the heart of the matter was the question of denominational rights (Bezeau, 2007). Denominational rights within education have continued to be contentious and have lead to some interesting developments within Canada. In particular, Ontario has struggled with the issue of denominational rights * I wish to thank Megan Davis and Angela Dziondziak for their assistance in the preparation of this manuscript. I also wish to thank the three anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments on an earlier version of this article.

We evaluated the impact of vaccination on COVID-19 outbreak and disease outcomes in Ontario, Canada. Methods: We used an agent-based transmission model and parameterized it with COVID-19 characteristics, demographics of Ontario, and age-specific clinical outcomes derived from outbreak data. We implemented a two-dose vaccination program, prioritizing healthcare workers and high-risk individuals, with 40% vaccine coverage and vaccine efficacy of 95% against disease.

  • THE RIGHT to RETIRE Response by the Ontario Federation of Labour To
    THE RIGHT TO RETIRE Response by the Ontario Federation of Labour to the Ministry of Labour’s Consultation Paper Concerning Mandatory Retirement September, 2004 The Right to Retire Introduction The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) welcomes this opportunity to present its views on people’s right to retire and on needed legislative changes to improve the entitlements of older workers. This submission is in response to the Ministry of Labour’s Providing Choice: A Consultation Paper On Ending Mandatory Retirement (August 2004). The OFL is a province-wide federation of affiliated unions encompassing approximately 650,000 members. Our members include public sector employees, construction workers, teachers and manufacturing workers plus a growing number of private service sector employees. The vast majority of our members participate in employer-sponsored and jointly trusteed pension plans and like all members of the workforce, unionized and non-unionized, depend upon the provisions of adequate public pensions. Mandatory Retirement: What’s Behind the Change? Let us be clear from the outset: there is no major demand from union members affiliated to the Ontario Federation of Labour to work beyond 65 years of age. The overwhelming majority of our members, like the public at large, want to know how to retire before 65. Early retirement is the desire of increasing numbers of workers. The issue for them is whether or not they can afford to retire. So while some workers wish to retire after 65, the majority of our members seek to retire before that time. When the Ministry of Labour talks about a person’s “right to choose when they want to retire”, they totally omit any reference to pensions and the desires and needs of all employees to have adequate pensions so as to retire in dignity.
