I am on the Education committee for EGALE Canada, and we have been working for several years to create and implement a Pan-canadian survey that will report on the school experiences of LGBTQ-identified youth and their heterosexual peers in Canadian schools. The findings from Phase I of this study are being presented as a part of this panel.  If you are in the Toronto area, you can go in person, if not, you can tune in via the web:

Tune in on Wednesday, April 1st, 5:30pm to 8:00pm

The "School Safety for Whom" panel discussion will be broadcast live via the following link:
