Students in Toronto are smoking, drinking, and using drugs at lower rates than the provincial average, but they’re also less physically active, a new report reveals. The school-based survey, conducted by Toronto Public Health, provides a comprehensive snapshot of the well-being of the city’s youth. More than 6,000 students, from Grades 7 to 12, were surveyed about their sexual, mental and physical health. They were also measured and weighed, and had their teeth checked by nurses and dental hygienists.
