⚽ 🏆 With FIFA World Cup excitement sweeping across Canada, there's never been a better time to discover Soccerology: Unbelievable Facts and Stories About the Beautiful Game by Kevin Sylvester!

Filled with fascinating facts, colourful illustrations, and surprising stories from soccer history, this engaging nonfiction title by Canadian broadcaster, author, and cartoonist Kevin Sylvester is sure to score with elementary and middle school readers and soccer fans alike.

As part of our Hooked on Books series, we sat down with Kevin Sylvester for an exclusive interview to talk soccer, storytelling, and why he believes science may be the most important subject in school for aspiring soccer players. We think you'll get a "kick out of it".

Learning doesn’t stop after the school bell, and the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto is the ultimate student field trip experience.

That’s why we are proud to share an educational interview with the team behind the Canadian International AutoShow about how it brings learning to life, combining hands-on experiences, STEM connections, and play-based fun for students of all ages. From the Hot Wheels art installation to the life-size pink LEGO Cadillac, the AutoShow shows how play, creativity, and innovation can inspire future careers in engineering, design, technology, and business.

As luck would have it, Opening Day coincides with a PA Day for many Ontario school boards this Friday, February 13, 2026, a perfect chance for families to explore learning together outside the classroom.
