We’re happy to report that Indspire’s Building

We’re happy to report that Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures Bursaries, Scholarships, and Awards program continues to help students achieve their dreams. Miranda Berard is one of those amazing students! Supported by the Slaight Family Foundation, she’s studying music at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and hopes to one day be an elementary music teacher. When she’s not playing classical and jazz on her double bass, she’s working for a cheesecrafter and caring for her grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s.

Education continues to flourish online as students

Education continues to flourish online as students, educators, and institutions create forward-thinking solutions to the COVID-19 situation. One of these innovations is a recent agreement between the Government of Ontario and eCampusOntario, which was finalized on March 31.
As a result, interim digital learning supports will be available in both English and French to all publicly assisted Ontario universities and college, giving them the technology they need to conduct year-end assessments while preserving student privacy. Organizations like Ontario Tech University applauded the move, saying that it’s an important step to ensure that post-secondary students can successfully complete their academic year despite the pandemic.

Mental health & wellness is more important than ev

Mental health & wellness is more important than ever in this time of remote work and social distancing – and there’s good support out there to help you stay well!
The University of Toronto is offering a free online course developed by a psychology professor called “Mind Control: Managing Your Mental Health During COVID-19” which is open to the public. It’ll help you understand the brain’s anxiety response which affects everything from the way we consume news to the way we talk to our loved ones – and will help you manage that anxiety response (and even turn it off!). Take a deep, healing breath and check it out in our COVID-19 resource section at indspire.ca/covid19
