The opening of the York Region Film Festival was a dynamic affair that had students from 3 schools talking with each other via ABEL streaming technology about what the films meant to them.
The Sutton site was hosted by Hillary Van Welter from Waste Films. She did a great job of engaging the students, introducing the films and including the other schools in the conversation.Sutton District High School was the host site for the streaming of the films.
