First Virtual Grade 11 Career Day Set to Debut

A new platform, fresh format, and a host of first-time speakers will highlight Grade 11 Career Day at St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) this academic year. 

Among the scheduled speakers: a paralympian, a PhD, and a media relations staff member of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
