Inside Education is extending an opportunity for not-for-profit organizations from Fort McMurray and the RMWB whose staff have relocated to Edmonton. If you are in need of a small meeting room, office space and equipment, computers, telephones, highly mediocre coffee or even just camaraderie with your fellow NFP-ers, we are happy to invite you to work from our downtown Edmonton office.

We realize it's soon to think about work, but we also know that the not-for-profit world waits for no one. We also believe that we're all in this together. If you are interested, contact our Executive Director, Steve McIsaac (smcisaac at insideeducation.ca).

Our recently-wrapped Clean Air Responsible Schools saw students in Edmonton and Calgary participate in an Idling Education project in their schools. Check out the fantastic PSA created by the Grade 5 IB PYP students at Victoria School for the Arts!
