We regret that, due to a lack of support funding, CFEE is having to suspend the “NextGen Edition of The Globe and Mail” until such time as funding to support the site is secured.

If you value the site, and would like to see its return, please send us a note to that effect to cizatt@cfee.org at CFEE. We would hope to use your support for the site as leverage to encourage funding support.

We are pleased to have been able to provide this valuable educational and learning material of some 18 years. We hope we will be able to restore the site to full operation soon.

Until such time, thank you for using the site and we hope it has been valuable for your teaching – and learning.

Gary Rabbior
President, CFEE
