Ontario parents will be notified in advance about guest speakers and their planned activities in schools starting in the 2024–25 school year, according to a new directive from the Ontario Education Ministry.

The directive mandates that schools inform parents at least 14 days before such events. If an event is scheduled within a shorter timeframe, parents will receive details as soon as they are confirmed.
