THE OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY ARE TO PURSUE A MORE VIGOROUS PREVALENCE OF POETRY IN CANADIAN SCHOOLS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A NATIONAL RECITATION CONTEST PROGRAM WHICH IS INCORPORATED INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM. DURING THE YEAR, THE CHARITY RAN SEMI-FINALS IN MONTREAL, TORONTO AND VANCOUVER AND AN ONLINE SEMI-FINAL FOR POETRY RECITATION, WHICH ALLOWED PARTICIPATION FROM STUDENTS ACROSS CANADA. THE NATIONAL FINALS WERE HELD IN TORONTO, WITH STUDENTS COMPETING IN ENGLISH, FRENCH, AND BILINGUAL STREAMS. ADDITIONAL STEPS WERE TAKEN TO EQUIP TEACHERS TO BOTH PREPARE FOR THE COMPETITION IN CLASS AND INCREASE THE PRESENCE OF POETRY IN GENERAL. THE CHARITY HAS ALSO BEGUN TO DEVELOP NEW LESSON PLANS TO AID TEACHERS TO OFFER EXCELLENTPOETRY EDUCATION.
