TORONTO, ON: Paul Rosen continued his inspiring tour with a large speaking engagement in Mississauga at the Living Arts Centre. This free event brought together a wide range of Mississauga residents and agencies including those involved in employment services and training and education.

TORONTO, ON: The most recent stop on Paul Rosen’s speaking tour was at Martingrove Collegiate Institute in Etobicoke. There, Paul spoke to close to 1000 high school students about his life long struggle with literacy. From his triumph as a paralympic athelete to his final confrontation with low level literacy, Paul demonstrated that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and never give up.
With his ultimate achievement – improving his ability to read and write- Paul reinforced the importance of education.

TORONTO, ON: Grade Learning, Ontario’s largest full-service education provider, announces Shire Sabtow as the first recipient of a $5,000 Grade Futures Scholarship. In 2010, Grade Learning launched the Grade Futures Scholarship Fund, which increases by $10 each time a social media user “likes” Grade Learning’s Facebook page. For each “Like”, $10 is donated to the Fund, allowing social media users the chance to give the gift of education with the click of a mouse. Each time an additional 500 “Likes” are achieved, another $5,000 scholarship is awarded.
