Description: Borrowing from a model used by the BCPVPA, OPC is offering 30-minute “Coffee connections” once a week for the next few weeks. During these drop-in sessions you can join us with your morning coffee, tea, juice or water and discussion some of the issues you are dealing with along with principals and vice-principals from across Ontario. We may choose to focus on a specific topic, or we may not. The intention is to provide a space where you can have a copy and friendly conversation with colleagues. As we continue to develop this concept, we will be looking from your feedback.
Past session recordings and resources are available for OPC members to access.
