It\u2019s a reality that students leave school early or miss an entire school day for reasons related to menstruation. In an effort to change this, the G7 Student Senate identified the need for free menstrual products as a priority to the Board of Trustees in the spring of 2021 and the trustees agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the students who had brought this priority forward, the Ministry of Education\u2019s announcement on providing greater access to free menstrual products in Ontario schools was music to their ears,\u201d said Director of Education, Wes Hahn. \u201cThe 2021-2022 school year has seen the installation of dispensers for free menstrual products across TLDSB in female and all-gender washrooms at the secondary school level, and at least one washroom in elementary schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In collaboration with the G7 Student Senate, the campaign includes a Menstrual Equity Challenge that will run through to May 27, one day before Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28.

It\u2019s time we end the stigma associated with a human function. So I challenge all TLDSB students to take part in the Menstrual Equity Challenge and to educate your peers about menstruation, all while donating to a good cause!\u201d said TLDSB Student Trustee, Alexia Evans-Turnbull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the Menstrual Equity Challenge, contact your child\u2019s school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about TLDSB\u2019s commitment to continuing our progress towards equity and inclusion for all individuals in our system by visiting the Board\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tldsb.ca\/equity-and-inclusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equity and Inclusion<\/a><\/span> page.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s about time, menstrual equity time.
