#LWB2025LSF was excellent.
I feel invigorated by the conversations and free flow ideas about FSL in Canada. Renewed perspectives about teacher shortages, redefining support, and applying a critical lens to the larger picture of what FSL is trying to accomplish. Thanks for the great learning!

Did you know public libraries have streaming services?
Our house has been moving towards free Canadian-based streaming services and discovered Hoopla and Kanopy through the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.
What other free or Canadian-based streaming services do you use?

Got my first R&R (revise & resubmit) this month and the experience has been great so far.
Contrary to what I've been led to believe, reviewer 2 was constructive & very helpful. Beginner's luck?

The Treaty Map includes every Canadian treaty from 1763-present, & challenges the commonly held view of treaties as land surrenders.
