A FaceBook group is available for families who have a child registered under Section 12/13 (BC). It's meant to be a venue where registration can be frankly discussed for its merits; so that registered families can touch base with one another and provide moral support along a "path less traveled". Please request to join if you'd like to participate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/registeredhomeschoolers/.
