N.S. MLA calls on premier to address ‘brutal reality’ some kids rely on school for safety
“A Nova Scotia MLA is calling on the government to address poverty in our province amid concerns over kids’ safety.
Dartmouth South NDP MLA Claudia Chender has taken to Twitter to say we should be worried if school is the only way to keep some kids safe.
Chender says the province needs immediate plans for affordable housing and poverty reduction along with a universal school food program.
The critique is in response to Premier Tim Houston’s report many children rely on schools for food, warmth, and to not feel alone.
