There’s a new report from People for Education: Urban-Suburban

Nearly two-thirds of Ontario’s students live in urban or suburban centres. These growing areas are vibrant places where many young people thrive and some fail.

In February 2008, a group of people (academics, community and parent leaders, a city councillor, early childhood experts, school board trustees and staff, members of ethno-racial community organizations and representatives of social planning councils and the United Way) gathered to share their ideas about urban and suburban schools.

In Memoriam: Anne Fraser

A friend of ours, and TSD member, Anne Fraser passed away just moments ago from breast cancer. She was a particular individual, and difficult to know, but I felt her a stalwart person of her own dreams, passions and convictions. We will miss her.
