Information Meeting - A Success

The information meeting that we held this weekend went very well. In attendance were many families that have just recently found out about the proposal and wanted more information. A representative from Alberta Education who oversees all the Bilingual programming in North America as well as a representative from the Spanish Embassy were in attendance. They had led a one-day seminar for Spanish teachers the day before which went very well.

Also, a professor from the University of Manitoba's linguistics department shared her results of her study on why parents chose Spanish Bilingual for their children. Very interesting. She gave us a list of resources that we are planning to share here for you all. Below is a video that describes the bilingual program in Edmonton. Stay tuned for more information, especially regarding our proposals to the divisions.
