The Ontario government says it will provide more than 23 million free menstrual products to students over the next three years.
The Ontario government has announced it's increasing access to free menstrual products in schools.
Minister of Education Todd Smith says the government has a three-year deal with Shoppers Drug Mart to provide more than 23-million menstrual products to students over the next three years.
The province says it's part of a greater effort to break the stigma around period poverty after it launched its first deal with the retail pharmacy chain in 2021.
The free menstrual products, along with more than 13-hundred dispensers, will be provided to school boards across Ontario.
