Education is a right that every child has in Canada.  As parents we do not support Masking our Children in Schools.  No data for Covid-19 has proven this to be an effective way to avoid transmission and children have been the least to transmit, as most are asymptomatic.  Children are least likely to suffer from effects of Covid 19 as data has proven a 99.99% survival rate.  Masks have shown many risks to our Children.  Their mental health is being forsaken.  The masking of our children promotes fear, cause our children anxiety and leads to oxygen deprivation.  This is not a healthy and safe learning environment for our children.  We demand these drastic measures are revoked and that our children’s mental health becomes a priority for our health experts and for our government. The “childrenshealthdefence.org” has a great article written with the risks of masking our children in schools laid out and I will quote - ‘making children wear face masks has the potential to cause long-term psychological, emotional and physical damage.  It promotes an excessive fear of germs (phobia) and of social interaction. The reduced oxygen levels will increase anxiety, fatigue and brain fog, decrease learning capacity due to decreased oxygen to the brain, weaken their immune systems and can lead to an increased rate and severity of all types of infections, not just Covid-19.  We know that children are at very low risk of complications from Covid-19. Yet, this practice of wearing face masks could potentially increase that level of risk.’

With this information, us parents are coming together for change.  We do not consent to masking our children in schools. Make schools MASK FREE for all of Canada!
