FAST Celebration Event – May 2, 2019

This celebration event was held to show our appreciation to the sponsors, creators, and invested educators who teach Choose Your Voice and Voices into Action. We also celebrated our milestone of reaching over 3.5 million Canadian students with our programs, and gave FAST Teacher Champion Awards to the two most deserving teachers for each program.
