Karina Gould signed the deal yesterday, alongside Ontario education minister Stephen Lecce. Gould is MP for Burlington and the federal minister of families, children and social development. Spring is officially underway. And after another long winter...we're ready to usher in the longer days...and enjoy the sunshine and the green grass.
