We had a wonderful 25th anniversary conference for our adult and continuing educators last week! We are so grateful to our sponsors who made this event possible.

Through the Living Classroom Program, CESBA is actively working to address the shortage of PSWs in Ontario alongside our partners Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging and Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care.

With the goal of doubling the number of Living Classrooms (LCs) in Ontario over the next two years, we aim to increase the number of PSWs graduating from LCs while also improving PSW recruitment and retention in long-term care homes with LCs.

We can’t do it without you! Applications for the Living Classroom Fund are open to support the collaboration between school boards and long-term care homes. Apply now at livingclassroom.ca/fund.
