Seniors at Creative Connections

I spent 11 am to 12 noon today (Tuesday, October 5) with 30 retired men and women talking about the municipal election, the role of school boards and school trustees, and how an election campaign is organized. We had good discussions about what to do when you don't like your child's teacher, and an interesting debate on whether or not Harry Potter should be on the curriculum (there were advocates pro and con). I pointed out how parents and community members can influence school and school board decisions. No one left early.
