Need a boost for your CLB Campaign??  Join the Champions Network!

In early March I had the pleasure of attending the Champion’s Network event in Mississauga spending a glorious day and a half immersed in the Canada Learning Bond with the best and brightest Champions from across Canada. The event was engaging on a number of levels – from new research on the positive effects of early childhood education savings, to review of communication strategies for marketing and promotion of the Bond.  Even though the first day officially ended at 5 pm you could hear the buzz of CLB chatter at the reception hosted by Meridian Bank until close to 8 o’clock! With bright and cheeky representatives from BC, Nova Scotia and PEI, it was honestly a truly inspiring event.

Now, I know reading this, you are probably just so sad that you missed this amazing and once in a lifetime CLB event, but dry your tears my friends and join the Champions Network so we can see you there next year.
