The TDSB invites families of Grade 12 students to attend an upcoming Post-Secondary Information Session on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. This session is aimed at helping parents/guardians and students better understand the post-secondary admissions process during COVID-19. This event is meant to support the post-secondary initiatives that schools are coordinating for their students locally. Grade 12 students and families will be encouraged to direct any questions about post-secondary planning to their school Guidance Counsellors.

Presenters include:
- OYAP
- OCAS
- Centennial College
- Seneca College
- George Brown College
- Humber College
- University of Toronto
- Ryerson University
