Brokerage. Previously it was to be a half-day camp and it will now be expanded to span the full day, 9 AM to 4 PM all five days. The camp will run July 15 to 19th, 2019 at the Georgina Ice Palace Hall and will include other historical activities from our array of programmes during the afternoons.

Expanding the Curriculum
The Knights in the Classroom are proud to announce that they are now offering workshops for the entire Junior division! They have added programmes exploring the Grade 5 First Nations curriculum as well as the Grade 6 Communities in Canada curriculum. Now schools can explore a full division of curriculum with KitC. And for schools with lower numbers or socioeconomic constraints, a full day event can be created to explore all three areas of curriculum at a very reasonable rate!

Matthew has been nominated for one of these prestigious awards under the category of Creative Arts & Design. Learn more by clicking here.
The award ceremony is Monday November 18th at the Royal York Hotel.
Update: Sadly, Matthew did not win the prestigious award. However, it went to a very deserving gentleman who just so happens to be the head of character animation at DreamWorks. You know, the studio responsible for Shrek. At least Matthew can say he lost to a worthy recipient.
