Process Change! 

Some editors may be working from home in the next few weeks. 

What? Why? 

The health authorities urge Canadians to practice social distancing, and we can do our work without being in close proximity to others in public spaces.

What Does This Mean? 

We are still working! We will be doing daily check-ins with Dani C or Curriculum Services folks, and we’ll stay in touch with everyone about current projects.

Some editors will come in to the office as well.
