Contact information is at http://www.firstroboticscanada.org/site/contact

There are several people in districts across Canada who have taken on leadership roles regarding robotics in their district on a volunteer or informal basis... and not always with FIRST affiliated programs, naturally... but I believe there is only one offical position recognized by a school board in the whole country.

I believe Karen Rosenthal, our Regional Director, is actually employed by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to be the "FIRST Robotics Administrator". She may be a good person to contact about your project.
