At CEN we work hard to support students across the province. Student led initiatives and great classroom projects deserve attention and we will focus on bringing these to you.
A Havergal college, a group of students are leading the charge to change the upcoming changes to the $50 bill. Our current bill includes an image of the famous five, women who lead the charge on women’s rights in Canada. With the refresh of the currency going through the system now (starting with the $100 last month), they have been removed from the design in favour of the arctic research ship CCGS Amundsen.
A CBC article recently highlighted this change and opened up an enormous online debate over the issue. The girls at Havergal have taken to starting an online petition to change the government’s decision. We encourage you to take the issue to your classes and support their work as engaged, involved citizens.
