Our group
is comprised of six graduate students enrolled in a Master of
Education program at Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada. The participants are: John H Boutilier, Lorenzo
Dellorusso, Shaun Syms, Shaun McNamara, Peter Casagrande, and
Leo Mackey. The issue of air quality concerns us as new schools
continue to be built in our areas. The content of this web site
has been organized to provide information to those interested
in air quality in schools. This web page is the final product
of our summer program: Global Conversations In Literacy, held
in Sydney, Nova Scotia, July 1999.
