People are talking about us! Read more
about who we are and what we do: Stirling students win national contest "Diana Boisvert and Bronwen Parr were shocked when they found out a banner they created would be displayed in Ottawa along with six others from across the country. The Stirling Senior School students created the banner as a class project that included an option to enter the National Capital Commission's Raise Your Voices! Student Banner Contest."
Winning Designs "Serge Laurier hangs winning banners from the National Capital Commission's contest Raise your Voices!"
Winners Chosen in the NCC’S Coast-to-Coast Classroom Contest "The National Capital Commission (NCC), in partnership with Classroom Connections, is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s cross-Canada student banner contest — with young winners to have their artwork exhibited in the heart of the Capital. The announcement coincides with the celebration of National Youth Week, from May 1 to 7, 2011"
Brain Science, Adolescence, and Secondary Schools: A Critical Disconnect "Children learn a whole raft of skills in the first seven or eight years of life by closely imitating their parents and teachers. But for children to grow up as clones at a time of rapid cultural and economic environmental change would be nothing short of disastrous. We now know that children need the struggle of adolescence to put away those childish behaviours."
NCC’S CALL TO CANADIAN YOUTH:
“RAISE YOUR VOICES!” "The National Capital Commission (NCC), in partnership with Classroom Connections, is kicking off the second year of an amazing cross-Canada classroom banner contest and public art project."
Cenovus Changes It Up in Janvier "The first half of a one year pilot project that offers a specialized course to Aboriginal youth and young adults has been completed on the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation (CPFN) at Janvier, Alberta. The program, Change It Up, began on February 8, 2010 with an enrollment of 27 participants, most of whom come from the CPFN and the municipal hamlet of Janiver. It concluded on Wednesday, July 28, when 22 graduating participants received their diplomas and took part in a full graduation ceremony at the Chipewyan Prairie Multiplex."
