TORONTO -- Premier-designate Kathleen Wynne will officially be sworn-in Monday along with a cabinet which makes clear her intent to broker peace with teachers.
Guelph MPP Liz Sandals, a former president of the Ontario School Boards' Association with a record of working well with stakeholder groups, will tackle the important education portfolio.
She will face the immediate and difficult task of forging a new relationship with teachers to help bring extracurricular activities back to public elementary and secondary schools.
