Catholic School Boards
Catholic school boards in northwestern Ontario want the province to address a number of issues impacting their systems.
The northern members of the English Catholic Council of Directors of Education outlined six areas during a recent meeting with the province deputy minister of Education.
Director of the Northwest Catholic District Board, Mary-Catherine Kelly, who presented the brief says one area of concern is the move towards a full-day kindergarten program.
Kelly says the board also outlined their concerns about rising transportation costs and how the province would compensate boards who took in smaller systems earlier this year.

Forestry Motion
The Bloc Quebecois has introduced a motion asking for more funding for the forest industry.
The NDP and Bloc are asking for funding amounts similar to the auto sector.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford says Rafferty isn't explaining the motion properly to his riding.
Rickford stands by his party and notes the Economic Action Plan is also providing $40 million to develop and diversify markets for Canadian wood products and to expand the North American lumber market.
