As children across Ontario prepare to return to school next week, some groups say the PC government’s interim sex-education curriculum doesn’t go far enough in getting rid of some of the more controversial topics from the previous government’s curriculum.

Premier Doug Ford promised during the election that he would repeal the Wynne government’s curriculum until province-wide consultations could be conducted and a new curriculum created—a move that was denounced by the NDP and Liberals but drew praise from parents who were against the 2015 curriculum.
