Latin-America Diaspora Advocacy Team in Ontario
LADATO is a community-led advocacy organization working to improve opportunities and outcomes for individuals and families from the Latin-America Diaspora living in Ontario.
We believe every person deserves access to high-quality public systems, and pathways to lifelong socio-economic success.
The Current Challenge
LADATO’s current campaign is for a strong public education system. Communities from the Latin-America diaspora contribute greatly to Ontario's social, cultural, and economic life. Yet many students continue to face barriers that affect educational opportunities and long-term success.
