Open School BC would like to thank all of the StrongStart BC Facilitators who offered video testimonials, photographs and artwork for this project. We were overwhelmed by your enthusiasm and regret that we were unable to include all of the materials that were offered. Your dedication to StrongStart BC families and children across the province is clearly evident and greatly appreciated.
