By Rosalind Russell – Ontario is providing more than 23 million free menstrual products to students in the province over the next three years.
It’s part of a new three-year agreement between the province and Shoppers Drug Mart to expand Ontario’s Menstrual Equity Initiative.
1,380 dispensers are also being provided in the first year to facilitate the delivery of the health products in schools.
It’s an increase of 3 million products compared to a previous agreement that was in place.
Officials say the products will be available to all school boards and school authorities across Ontario.
