Welcome to this special MindShareTV Canadian EdTech AI Leadership Summit Sneak Peek. I’m Robert Martellacci, Founder and Chief Digital Publisher of MindShare Learning and Chair of the 17th Canadian EdTech AI Leadership Summit.

With only 43 days to go, we’re delighted to welcome featured speaker Dr. Tom D’Amico—one of Canada’s most respected and forward-thinking education leaders.

Tom is the former Director of Education for the Ottawa Catholic School Board and currently serves as Vice-Chair and an alumni member of the C21 Canada CEO Academy. He is also a founding leader of the recently formed Cross-Canada Education Collaborative: Leading for Human Flourishing.

This year’s Summit theme is:

“Leading with AI for Good: Advancing Human Flourishing”

This year, we will go deeper—exploring how we can responsibly scale AI in education while preserving what matters most: human connection, creativity and purpose.

Today’s conversation is brought to you by C21 Canada and the C21 Canada–Dell Technologies AI Use Case Project, which is helping Canadian school systems move from AI exploration to practical, responsible implementation.

Tom, welcome to MindShareTV!

ParticipACTION's Spotlight on Physical Activity for Children and Youth: 2026 Progress Report finds that youth aged 12–17 are Canada's most inactive age group. Only 21% meet the physical activity recommendation—and among girls, the figure falls to 8%. This episode turns those warning lights into practical back-to-school action for educators, families, communities and policy leaders.
