Conversation around Congregate Sites and the Home Education Regulation Continue

The conversation around congregate sites has continued, spearheaded primarily by the College of Alberta's School Superintendents (CASS).  AHEA has responded to several media requests.  President, Paul van den Bosch has provided feedback to an Edmonton Journal article.

On February 13, 2015, Alberta Primetime current events television show then featured a piece on home education.  The show began with a documentary segment where Education Unlimited's Leo Gaumont,  and Adele Hoflin (Leo's daughter) and her family were featured.  This was followed by a live panel discussion where AHEA president Paul van den Bosch represented AHEA's position and advocated for home education.
