Bridgeway Academy would like to thank everyone for their support of the Atlantic Conference on Learning Disabilities, held May 12-13, 2011 at Mount Saint Vincent University. 

We welcomed more than 300 delegates, presenters, exhibitors and volunteers to this two-day learning experience focused on supporting youth with learning disabilities. 

A special thank you to our keynote speakers including actor and social activist Danny Glover,  actor Felix Justice, author Sheree Fitch, Justice Merlin Nunn, and MSVU's incoming Gail and Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Learning Disabilities, Dr. Jamie Metsala.
