[Wamvan] Consent in Schools issue- Does this Ontario initiative need to come to BC?

[Natalie Hill]

Great article about this in last weekend's Globe:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/grade-8-girls-push-for-sex-ed-reforms-with-petition-of-40000-signatures/article22807466/

13-year-olds leading the charge! Their answers in the Q&A are awesome.

They're in Ontario, mind you. So not sure how relevant to the question of
what's happening locally. But super inspiring.
