Is Your Child Being Unlawfully Suspended under ISPA? – Ontario parents are fighting back

Children’s Health Defense Canada has been at the forefront of protecting Ontario children’s rights to education and medical privacy and help parents successfully navigate the unlawful school suspension process.

In Ontario, the Immunization of School Pupils Act, (ISPA 1982) requires children to obtain vaccines to attend schools, unless their parents seek an exemption under the Ontario Immunization of School Pupils Act and the Childcare and Early Years Act.

But these laws require parents to sign a self-incriminating affidavit for “failing to provide the necessaries of life” and which exposes them to sanction for refusal.

Parents are also required to take an “education session” before exercising their right to refuse vaccination for their children on religious and conscience grounds. If Ontario parents refuse to sign the compulsory statement and attend the “sessions” where one-sided information which does not include the risks and adverse effects of vaccines, their child is refused school registration and/or attendance. If the statement is not signed, a public health official attempts to bar the child from admission to, or suspension from school attendance.

The Ontario Immunization of School Pupils Act breaches the Constitutional rights of children and parents under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and places hurdles that cannot be overcome without relinquishing fundamental rights and freedoms.
