Access to clean drinking water is a right and not a privilege for those who can afford it

I support reducing plastic waste at the school and would encourage a program that promotes water fill stations at no cost to the children.

Water is not a commodity. Water is a naturally sustainable source of life, as is the earth itself, to be cherished and valued greatly. To make it a commodity for profit diminishes its true value and purpose for all.

Charging for chilled, filtered water is debatable. Selling sugary junk water is not. It has no place in the school.

Is this a sick joke?
I don't think we should have water fill stations at all - free or otherwise. There's nothing wrong with the existing fountains and Toronto's municipal water is more than safe.

I do not support any attempts to privatize water in whatever form or disguise. This is a service that I am already paying with my taxes. This initiative does not add any nutritional value to my child's nourishment. I would prefer that the Principal and TDSB spend their time and resources in initiatives that would actually would support the best interest of my child, like improving the current food program with locally produced nutritional food!

There are no apparent benefits to the children, or to the TDSB, inherent in a system that requires students to pay for water, or worse, sugared water. The TDSB admitted that net revenues from this proposal would be minimal, and it goes against their policy of allowing only pure fruit juices in schools.

If there is a problem with drinking water at Fern or at ANY school, forcing children to pay for safe water cannot be considered a solution! Vending of any sweetened beverages or other empty calories has no place in our schools!!

Speechless! An insane idea.

Water should be free. Why would we encourage children to bring money to school. This can only lead to extortion and bullying by peers.

Fern has more important matters.

This is really outrageous. As an environmentalist, educator and parent, I try to teach my child that water is a basic right and we should never have to pay for it. I actually thought that this was a joke and can't believe that the TDSB would allow this!

Given an alternative, many kids will chose sugar water over plain water. We're trying to teach them to drink plain water so why present them with the sugar alternative at their water source. Our population is already consuming far more empty calories than it should be. These are formative years. Let's help them develop a life-long habit of drinking plain water.
