Education Updates
Education updates from the most recent council meeting ur March 2010 Council meeting was held in the second largest city in Canada – Montreal.

Here are some of the educational items that were discussed: • Last year, Council decided to offer examinations for most subjects in both examination sessions
each year. This upcoming May examination session will be the first and we have had a record number of applications.
