Stop TDSB from closing 70% of School Pools

The petition

I have made this petition so that we can try and persuade the TDSB to change its policy towards the closure of its swimming pools.
Swimming is such an important part of a youth's development; not only from a safety perspective, but with child obesity rates increasing I cannot understand how they can so easily cut such a critical life skill.

Some things in life are worth paying for!

Please sign this and pass it on to as many people as you can.
