Kitchener’s Ty Varga was one of over 300 players looking to get the attention of NFL general managers and coaches this past weekend. The Kitchener Rangers meanwhile, picked up two of a possible six points over the weekend from their Northern Ontario road swing. The team is back at home Tuesday taking on the London Knights.
1:30 – Sex Ed released today
The provincial government will announce an update to the sex education curriculum today. A copy of a guide to parents obtained by The Canadian Press says students in grades one to three will be taught about safe Internet use. At the Grade 4 level, students will be taught about the dangers of “sexting” — the sending of sexually explicit photos by phone. Preventing sexually transmitted diseases will be covered in Grade 7. Progressive Conservative Monte McNaughton has repeatedly slammed the government over the proposed changes, saying more input from parents is needed. Wynne says school council chairs at all 5,000 schools across the province have been consulted and the new health and physical education curriculum will be implemented in September 2015. Wynne said in question period she doesn’t know if McNaughton’s “fearmongering” has more to do with his party leadership bid or “with a very small group of people who want to stir up fear about the reality that kids need information.”
