|

In today's rapidly evolving world, education must adapt to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. In March 2024, Peel District School Board (PDSB) and the City of Brampton unveiled a significant milestone in their ongoing partnership: the opening of the new Collaborative Learning and Technology Centre (CLTC). The CLTC is not just a building; it is a state-of-the-art technology hub focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) programming. From cutting-edge amenities to modern design, this space is set to empower PDSB students and the community with the skills of the future. |
