GRADE 8–12 SUMMER RESEARCH
Support independent inquiry this summer with Gale’s “In Context” research tools for secondary students. Whether exploring Canadian identity, global issues, or scientific breakthroughs, Gale helps students build critical thinking and research skills with trusted, curriculum-aligned content. Access through the Digital Classroom.
School Furniture
As you begin to think about classroom renewals over the summer months, and navigating the current Canada-US tariff situation, our School Furniture program provides access to a wide range of school furniture across manufacturers/brands at competitive prices.
Crisis Communications Toolkit
Crises are part of the world we live in. The reputational risk associated with a crisis for organizations is intensified by social media and the world of instant communications, where everyone is an ‘expert’ and can shape the narrative. The Crisis Communications Toolkit offers guidance for school districts on how to prepare for and respond to cyber incidents.
Information Hub
The Information Hub for members is now live! Stay up to date and easily access past updates, announcements, and key news—all in one convenient place. Check back regularly for the latest updates!
