First Reference annual holiday donation, season’s greetings and holiday break

Giving back

Office closure

Every year, to give a little something back, we make a donation to an organization that’s acting to advance hope and justice. This year, we’ve chosen The Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET), a non-profit research and educational organization created by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to educate citizens about their rights and freedoms through free workshops, seminars and in-class sessions in schools, educational institutions and faculties of education. Each year, CCLET reaches over 10,000 students from a wide range of public, separate and private educational institutions. Visit the CCLET website to learn more.

Office closure and seasons greetings

Our office will be closed for the holidays at noon on December 24 and will reopen January 2, 2019. Also note that we will not be blogging during the holidays.

From all of us at First Reference, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!
