Location details will be shared with those who register.

During this event, Pam Miller, EcoSchools Instructional Leader, will give a short talk on the edge of her retirement, and TDSB teachers will share their accomplishments in Climate Change Education through a learning carousel. All in attendance will enjoy connecting with colleagues while enjoying vegetarian snacks and refreshments.
