CLC LABOUR DAY PICNIC A GREAT SUCCESS

A little rain didn't dampen the spirits of the hundreds of people who marched in the Labour Day parade or took part in the lunch and festivities at McNabb Park. It was also a great opportunity to meet people and get their comments and suggestions for Ottawa's public schools.

MUNICIPAL DAY AT SUPEREX

Ten municipal politicians, none currently holding political office, set up tables in the Coliseum Building on Saturday, August 28, alongside the historical circus displays. I was the only school trustee candidate in attendance and had some good discussions with passers by.

Music for the People

The Ottawa-Carleton Choristers, under the leadership of Laurie Hamilton, with special guests the Ottawa Youth Harp Ensemble, under the direction of Mary Muckle, played to a full house Saturday night, May 29, at St. James United Church in the Glebe. I was honored to emcee the concert, which featured music from around the world. Congratulations to the current and former educators who make such beautiful music. Laurie Hamilton, is also the Head of Music at Canterbury High School.
