The twenty-three schools have been selected based on socio-economic data collected from Stats-Canada. Therefore, it is our goal to assist these communities by providing high quality yet affordable programs. We are confident that the organizations invited will work together to provide stimulating programs that foster personal and professional growth through education and life skill training.
The following documents are required:
