Project – Service to Others is a Provincial RTO/ERO program that provides grants to Districts for initiatives that support the concept of “Service to Others”. The intent is to contribute to a variety of community projects and thereby raise the profile of the RTO/ERO by demonstrating, to active teachers, and to the public, that retired teachers care about their communities and are willing to help others who need assistance.
Information on the 2012 Project - STO application process and the application forms are available on the Provincial RTO/ERO website. click here
