Thanks to the University of Toronto Mississauga and the Public Health Agency of Canada funding Planet Youth Mississauga, a Part 2 program will be held for the alumni of the pilot of Beautiful Mind Day for Grade 6, 7 and 8 students. Students who helped refine curricula in November are invited to the UTM campus in May to share their school campaigns, experience a bit of post-secondary life and have fun. Congratulations to the seven schools and their amazing student leaders for being pioneers and helping their communities!

The Dam and Erin Mills Connects are helping lead the implementation of IPM in Cooksville, Meadowvale and Erin Mills, thanks to the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
