Here are the presenters from Nova Scotia. It is quite an impressive list. As the TESL Canada Conference Manager I can say that I am really pleased with the representation from Nova Scotia, in terms of the number of presenters, the quality of the presentations and the range of topics/expertise. We are looking forward to having all of the presenters share Nova Scotia expertise at the conference!
I hope that the conference is enjoyable for every one attending, and I look forward to hearing all about it in the future. Good luck to those presenting, and safe travels to all.
Yours sincerely,
Kris Mitchell
President, TESL NS
