In 1960 she and her husband Bruno moved to Fredericton. That proved to be the start of a lasting relationship of love for the city and the province and the genesis of what was to become their extraordinary contribution to the visual arts scene in the city. She illustrated Sheree Fitch’s first two books, Toes in My Nose, 1987, and Merry-Go-Day, 1991. Molly studied at the Vancouver School of Art with Jack Shadbolt between 1938-1941. In 1942 she joined the Canadian Women’s Army Corp and became the first woman to be named as an official Canadian War Artist. She lead a full and active life painting and drawing daily until the age of 84 when her eyesight failed. She touched countless people conducting workshops across Canada, teaching Extension Programs through UNB and serving on the National Film Board, the Stamp Design Council, the National Capital Commission and the National Gallery Advisory Board. Molly received Honorary Doctorates from Mount Allison University, the University of New Brunswick and Saint Thomas University. She was presented with the Order of Canada in 1995 and was an initial recipient of the Order of New Brunswick in 2002. When interviewed about that honour she was asked " What is your greatest joy" and she responded "People". Molly never lost her love of engaging in conversation and being surrounded by family and friends. 7 Friday July 10th Atlantic Child, Youth, & Place: Currents & Currencies 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Conference Registration 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM The Place of Beauty and the Beauty of Place in Anne of Green Session 4 Gables.

  • Speech from the Throne 2015
    Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of the Legislative Assembly, invited guests and all New Brunswickers. Welcome to the opening of the Second Session of the 58th Legislative Assembly of the Province of New Brunswick. Your government remains focused on three priorities: making the choices that must be made to get our finances in order so we can invest in the priorities of New Brunswickers; growing the provincial economy to create new jobs; and making strategic investments in programs like health and education to make New Brunswick the best place to raise a family. Governments across Canada and around the world are facing change. Whether these changes are due to shifting demographics or financial pressures, these governments are looking at ways to deliver services in a better and more cost-effective manner to meet the needs of their citizens. Strategic Program Review is the means by which government will deliver on these priorities. Strategic Program Review is about more than just achieving balanced budgets. It is about making choices that will allow the province to have a sustainable budget into the future and afford the health, education and other social services that New Brunswickers expect and deserve, while creating the conditions for new jobs. Much has occurred that warrants our recognition since the last session of the New Brunswick Legislature. On behalf of the Province of New Brunswick, I offer my congratulations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the New Brunswick Members of Parliament: Dominic LeBlanc, René Arseneault, Serge Cormier, Matt DeCourcey, Pat Finnigan, TJ Harvey, Alaina Lockhart, Wayne Long, Karen Ludwig and Ginette Petitpas Taylor.

  • New Brunswick's Journey to Inclusive
    1 New Brunswick’s journey to inclusive education Angela AuCoin, Gordon L. Porter,2 and Kimberly Baker-Korotkov3 A. AuCoin Université de Moncton, Département d’enseignement primaire et de psychopédagogie, 18 Antonine-Maillet Ave, Moncton, NB E1A 3E9, Canada E-mail : [email protected] G. L. Porter Inclusive Education Canada, Woodstock, Canada [email protected] K. Baker-Korotkov New Brunswick’s Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Fredericton, Canada [email protected] 2 Abstract In 1994, when UNESCO adopted the Salamanca Statement and Framework of Action, it invited governments and non-governmental organizations to consider fundamental policy shifts to promote an inclusive education approach. This call to action resonated well with the efforts already being made by educators in New Brunswick. For more than 35 years, this small Canadian province has pioneered the concept of inclusive education through legislation and best practices. Today, as the international community is once again invited to promote inclusive and equitable education, this time for the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development, it is timely to examine how the province’s practices compare with these guidelines and what steps might be taken next. This article analyzes New Brunswick’s path to inclusive schools, concluding that, despite visible progress, real change is a difficult process that requires long periods of sustained effort and collaboration from a variety of partners. Keywords: New Brunswick; Inclusive education In 2019, the international education community reflected on the 25 years since the Education for All initiative was proposed at the World Conference on Special Needs Education in Salamanca (Ainscow, Slee, and Best 2019).
