Another rally organizer, Joan Chang, says the protest brought the situation to the attention of many students. She says it showed government officials and trustees that the students are unhappy with the current situation. And there have been more protests. Ontario students also presented the government with a petition signed by 8,000 students who want their extracurricular activities back. In Toronto, hundreds of Jarvis Collegiate Institute School students walked out of classes.
Students are determined to get their message across.
