On Tuesday, Michael Mantha, NDP MPP for Algoma-Manitoulin, reintroduced an Act to proclaim Abuse Prevention Week and to establish an Abuse Prevention Framework Advisory Committee which would proclaim the week beginning on the first Sunday in October of each year as Abuse Prevention Week.
Mantha says he is proud of the proposed Loverin’s Law, legislation that would ensure youth have the tools and supports to stop the circle of abuse and violence.
He adds during Abuse Prevention Week, all Ontario schools would teach an evidence-based curriculum focused on abuse prevention, which it does not provide at this time.
Mantha reintroduced the legislation yesterday afternoon as the fall session of Queen’s Park gets underway.
