What does back to school look like for your family this year? Amidst a global pandemic, it can mean something different for every family. 

For some, it's still time to organize school supplies, pack lunches, and arrange extracurricular activities — with a few modifications of course, as some kids get ready for a full-time return to the classroom. For others, it's about juggling work-from-home schedules around online math classes, managing Zoom meetups, and teaching kids how to type so they can participate virtually. And in many cases, it's somewhere in between.

CBC is creating a back-to-school snapshot of Canada to capture this historic moment in time and we're looking for your words of wisdom.
