    > c g C/l ^ rn H C 1 ^ H 3 C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S A N D HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY ECS This year marks the eightieth consecutive year that Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School has offered a scholarly education to young women in Montreal. In these changing times it is important for our School Community to be reminded of the stability which institutions such as ECS give to our city. To celebrate this great achievement Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School had a three day 80th Birthday Party during the first weekend in November 1989 culminating in the official opening of the new 12,000 square-foot building extension. The annual Founders' Day service took place on Thursday, November 2. Mrs. Jean Stavert Welsford, Class of 1914 and present when the original school opened in 1909, came to give the students a real sense of tradition and continuity. The audience heard the finalists in the Old Girls' Public Speaking Contest and Miss Maysie MacSporran, Class of 1922, Teacher from 1933-39, and Headmistress from 1940-61, was guest speaker. On Friday afternoon the gymnasium was transformed into a garden, complete with rose arbour, for the Time-Warp bazaar organized by Grade Ten and tea was served to parents, company members, hoard members, old girls, past parents and friends of the School. Members of the Junior and Senior Choirs and the School Band performed for the guests. There was a Fashion Show which featured costumes from eight decades.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 table of 4 About Us 5 LEARN's structure contents 6 Learn’s Provincial Network 7 Message from the CEO 8 Message from the Chairman 10 Pedagogical Services Team 38 Virtual Campus Team 52 Provincial Resource Team 64 Thank you e AAboutbout uuss LEARN is a non-profit educational organization that offers, at no charge, a wealth of information and resources for the English-speaking community in Quebec. Building on the merger of three organizations in July 2005, LEARN has developed a variety of resources. LEARN is a driving force for educational innovation and practice as well as an internationally recognized leader in the field on e-learning. The learn team is composed of highly skilled and experienced educators and professionals who bring to the community a vast array of resources and services which are coupled with a collaborative and success-oriented mindset. At the heart of the organization, and its distinguishing feature, is a deep-rooted passion for education. LEARN recognizes that learning does begin and end in a school and that learning is a lifelong endeavor. To contribute to this process of lifelong learning, learn works closely with its educational and community partners and in harmony with the province’s curriculum, and hosts resources that are not only core to the curriculum but which both complement and supplement it. Learn’s focus is consistently on making learning engaging, effective, and ongoing.
