Over 100 families attended this year’s Togetherness Initiative, an annual event organized by teacher candidates in the Faculty of Education. 

As part of the service-learning course Vulnerability, Marginalization and Education (VME), BEd students planned and implemented the event at Frank W. Begley Public School in Windsor, offering activities and supports for local families facing economic and social barriers.
