Abstract	The purpose of this article is to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of such key stakeholders as students, parents, and teachers in Ontario's FSL program, and what potential impacts such attitudes could have on future participation in FSL learning in secondary schools in the province. It also examines some prevailing teaching and learning practices as they relate to the development of FSL programs in Ontario. More precisely, this article tries to answer the following three questions: How is Ontario's current FSL program perceived by some key stakeholders, what may influence these perceptions, and what are some of the possible implications for the future of FSL in Ontario, especially with respect to participation? Responses of students, parents, and teachers to questionnaires provided data for the paper. The fieldwork for this study was carried out in six secondary schools in three Ontario school boards, two of which were Catholic and the other, public. (As Provided).
