The IB Days in Atlantic Canada represents an opportunity to hear programme-focused stories from IB Educators in local IB World Schools. During workshops and presentations, participants will hear from IB students, alumni, educators and parents about the benefits of an IB education. Government officials including Mr. Dennis Cochrane, former deputy minister of education for both New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and former mayor of Moncton, and Mary McDonald, IB/AP Lead at Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, will join the IB Days event.
Several regional Canadian universities including Dalhousie, St. Mary's, Mt. Allison, UNB, and St. Thomas will form a panel discussing why universities want IB students.
Canada's focus on multilingualism is highlighted in the IB Days Atlantic Canada symposium, which facilitates conversations around multilingualism, including incorporating French, Gaelic, Indigenous, and mother tongue languages into its programmes. Above all, the event aims to introduce the IB to officials and community members involved in local education in Canada's Atlantic region.
Members of the media are encouraged to attend any of the events and conduct interviews with IB leaders. They will be available to discuss IB's presence in New Brunswick and throughout Atlantic Canada.
