An Oct. 25 article by Jenny Yuen of Sun Media provided the following details on the potential for a girls program in Toronto:
After much heated debate over the possibility of boys-only schools earlier this week, Toronto public schools might be getting a girls-only mentoring program, according to a Twitter post from Chris Spence, Toronto District School Board's education director.
In the Tweet, Spence writes: "Soon we'll be launching the Girls Only initiative. Stay tuned for more information!"
"It makes sense to do this for the girls, to provide them with some strong role models," Spence told the Sunday Sun yesterday. "We haven't brought it forward just yet and part of our plan is to launch it in November."
The program -- called Project G.O. (Girls Only) -- will be brought to the board next month and its purpose is to provide positive role models for girls.
