Heads 🆙 Phones ⬇️

Next week, I return to @thamesvalleydsb to deliver my “Heads Up, Phones Down!” program to two great schools - Northdale Public School & Blenheim District Public School.

Together, we’ll explore how we can CHANGE THE STORY that’s currently happening with young people and their cell phone use and become intentional positive influences in our communities by having meaningful relationships and human interactions with those around us.

If you’d like to bring this program to your school, reach out to ChrisGraySpeaks@gmail.com

2026 SHSM Showcase Day The hands-on experiences students receive through SHSM manufacturing opportunities are invaluable, helping them connect classroom learning to real-world careers. A huge thank you to the Fanshawe Manufacturing Team for hosting our SHSM Manufacturing students! Students had the opportunity to get hands-on with CNC machining while building their own hammer and learning each step of the manufacturing process from design to production.
Experiences like these provide invaluable insight into skilled trades and advanced manufacturing careers, while helping students develop technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in a professional manufacturing environment.
We appreciate your time, expertise, and commitment to supporting the next generation of skilled workers!

Students, educators, and partners gathered at Queen's Park on October 2 for the Award Canada Experiential Education Gathering, celebrating the power of experiential learning and student leadership. ⁠
⁠
Throughout the day, students from across Ontario led interactive learning experiences, sharing the skills they are developing, the opportunities they are exploring, and the pathways they are creating for themselves. ⁠

We were honoured to be welcomed by The Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and joined by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, Premier Doug Ford, Minister of Education Paul Calandra, British Consul General Fouzia Younis, education leaders, school board representatives, industry partners, Award supporters, and donors. ⁠

📸 A look back at a day of student leadership, learning, and growth. ⁠
