Handing out information about Ryerson is a great way to share his story., meet new people and get the word out. Susan MaCaulay is seen in this photo leafletting at TMU Nov 21 and conversing with students.

Ryerson had NO connection with the harmful system brought in after his death, but instead supported the voluntary, bilingual (Ojibway and English) schools.
