Our Co-Op Experience with Peel District School Board

At Cantoo City, we built our brand to help everyone step away from their screens and reconnect with physical creativity. We know that human connection doesn't just come from what we build—it comes from the people we build it with.

That commitment to human first creativity is why we welcomed high school students from the Peel District School Board Co-op Program directly into our team this summer. Rather than handing off busywork, we created a self-guided learning environment where the co-op student took ownership of real world marketing operations—from developing campaign briefs and auditing the website to analyzing live campaign data. Niyati, Harshan, and Sarita brought sharp questions and fresh Gen Z energy to marketing decisions, while we shared the practical experience in building a brand resonates to the younger generation.

A sincere thank you to Ms. Barai and the Peel District School Board for trusting a local business. As our co-op team takes their next steps, we hope they stay curious, think thoughtfully, and make their mark.

At Cantoo City, creativity is—and always will be—a fundamentally human value.
