As COVID-19 cases increase in Saskatchewan, New Democrat candidate for Saskatoon Eastview Matt Love stood with Educational Assistant and parent Tracy Lyons to highlight the need for smaller class sizes in Saskatchewan’s schools.
“Rising COVID-19 cases in Saskatchewan are a real concern. But as a teacher, I know classrooms were overcrowded even before the pandemic – especially after the Sask. Party cut $54 million from our schools,” said Love. “Students deserve better than Scott Moe’s dangerous cuts to classrooms during a pandemic. New Democrats will invest in what matters most – the safety of our kids.”
Love committed that a Saskatchewan New Democratic Party government would work quickly with parents, school divisions, teachers and public health officials to make schools safer by:
“Under Scott Moe, teachers, parents and school communities were left to deal with the worst back-to-school plan in Canada. That’s not good enough,” said Love. “It’s why more and more people in my constituency are telling me that they just can’t trust Scott Moe this time. It’s time for a change – to put people first.”
