Ridges Moraine that was in the negotiation stage at the last meeting.<br />
pdstore.com noted a promising start to 2006-07 with a net income <strong>of</strong> over $5,500 since April 1<br />
and suggested that International Private Schools and MarkBook customers would likely remain<br />

<strong>of</strong> its operations from its establishment in October 2005 to June 2006. Perhaps its most<br />
significant achievement, CSC was awarded one <strong>of</strong> two Canadian Heritage-Gateway Fund<br />
$500,000 awards for building a Cultural E-Learning Content Aggregation Service for K-Grade<br />
12. This funding will be used by CSC and its many partners to construct an online access point<br />
“Access Culture CANADA/Access a la Culture Canadienne,” using state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art web<br />
application tools. This project has the support <strong>of</strong> the Council <strong>of</strong> Ministers <strong>of</strong> Education <strong>of</strong><br />
Canada (CMEC). In January and February 2006, the eSolutions unit secured two new projects<br />
for the production <strong>of</strong> a video CD and a video DVD for the York Region District School Board.<br />
The final video CD in the series was scheduled for completion September 2006.<br />
Since June 2005, CSC business has continued to expand and new opportunities continue to be<br />
investigated. The possibilities in Educational Video/DVD production and distribution are,<br />
perhaps, among the most exciting signs <strong>of</strong> the future.<br />
