The Toronto District School Board thinks that girls can be leaders. I think so too.
This past October, the TDSB Leadership Academy opened its doors once again to young minds and future leaders, with a new name The Jean Augustine Girl's Leadership Academy. It is the first leadership academy for girls in a public school in Ontario. There are many leadership academies, but they are all private. This academy is in east Toronto, and is for any girl who wants to work hard and think big, regardless of the coffers at home.
Alberta is a step ahead of Ontario, by having two such academies supporting young girls to be smart, and to be confident. I attended the opening ceremony of this Academy and the energy was electrifying. Those girls have a lot to say and they are going to find solutions to matters big and small. Frankly, I am proud that my tax dollars are going to initiatives such as these. A strong democracy means a strong education system.
We shouldn't stop at one Leadership Academy for Girls. Bring it on.
