What is happening on the front lines of education across our country and what trends are behind this significant shift?
She will also explore what the future of education might look like in Canada. Will Christian and independent education emerge as the vital movement of renewal in our time? What might that look like? What should that look like? And how can you play a role in the lives of future generations?
