The staff of Bedford Road Collegiate has coped on a daily basis with a 5 million dollar renovation begun a year ago and completed this spring. For their support, humor, and perseverance under duress, I wish to express my appreciation to the Bedford Road Collegiate staff. Throughout our schools across all of Canada, teachers are working quietly, patiently, and ceaselessly to educate the youth of Canada. Their work often goes unnoticed. I would like to thank the Canadian Teacher Federation and the Hilroy Foundation for recognizing the work completed by Philip, myself, and others.
Teachers are by nature a caring and modest group.
The support the Hilroy Foundation provides through the awards it gives encourages and leads to the sharing of innovations made by teachers across our nation. I thank them for their recognition of the leadership teachers provide. Compumedia is a word we coined to describe a multimedia approach to the instruction of music, band, choir, and guitar. The project began with the theft of a flute. This flute is symbolic of an underlying principle that is reflected in our project.
