Local Recipients

Terry Da Silva

In Brampton, Ontario, teams of Terry Da Silva's students at Turner Fenton Secondary School form "companies" and find clients for whom they produce a range of stationery. Through these companies, Mr. Da Silva, a communication technology teacher, shows his students the real-world relevance of their studies. Their clients include the Canadian Red Cross Society, the Junior World Figure Skating Championships and the Lions Club, all of whom benefit from student enthusiasm that goes well beyond the classroom.
