On Thurs March 9 our beloved colleague Nancy's family suffered a cowardly & cruel attack with acid. Her daughter Bradi was severely injured. Bradi's recovery will be long & painful. If you are able, pls contribute to the Go Fund Me campaign for Bradi: gofundme.com/f/gpd9g-help-f…

Everybody's wondering what to do with this new tech. Why not take a deeper dive with John Allan:

Amazing for the NLS team: first a cowardly vicious attack on the daughter of a dear colleague in mid-March, but then the amazing responses of Bradi, her mother & other loving family & the Milton ON community. A deep bow from Nancy's colleagues to her, Bradi and Milton. Strong!

The Avenue wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Thanks BCTEAL for a great F2f conference.

AMSSA Staff MingJi Wang (Language Program Lead) & Tara Ramey (Language Program Specialist) had a great time at the 2023 BC TEAL Conference! It was so great catching up with everyone, including Paul Carter (LearnIT2Teach.ca) & Assefa Merali (BC TEAL). #SettlementSector #BCTEAL23

A very useful skill. Go Paul!
