Toronto.com reports that Rose Avenue Public School and the Mabin School are the first two schools in Canada to be recognized as Ashoka Changemaker Schools.
Ashoka Canada Fellow Mary Gordon, founder of children’s program Roots of Empathy, noted that both schools were highly deserving of Ashoka’s recognition.
“We’ve seen amazing acts of empathy here – the Buddy Bench and the ramp – from some of the youngest children,” she said.
