The website was redesigned by Lakeshore’s tech- nology supervisor Justin Critch, who began work- ing on the project back in December of last year. He said the site was in need of a refresh and fi gured that he might as well make it more intuitive and rel- evant while he was at it. The website is actually two-fold with an outward- facing version for the general public and an inter- nal site only accessible by teachers and other Lake- shore staff. The aim is to give staff the ability to post to the outward-facing site so the info they feel is most relevant for parents can be seen. Critch said that this way there isn’t just one person who can post an event or other content to the website. “There is an approval process for submissions, but anyone can put stuff up on the site now,” said Critch.

  • Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
    February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

  • 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library P. 28 200
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 3 th 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library p. 28 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Manitoba’s original Mace was carved out of the hub of a Red River cart wheel by a soldier with the Wolseley Expedition Force (sent out to deal with the Riel Rebellion in 1869). This Mace was used for a period of 13 years between March 15, 1871 and March 12, 1884. In December 1873, when a fire destroyed the first home of the Legislature, the Mace was the only object to survive the flames. It remains on display in the Speaker’s office to this day. Manitoba’s current gold-plated Mace debuted in 1884. Standing five feet tall and weighing 28 pounds, it repeats themes found on the original Mace. The head of the current Mace displays four emblems: the Rose, the Thistle, the Harp, and the Fleur-de-lis. These same emblems are found engraved on the staff of the Mace, with the exception of an Irish Shamrock replacing the Harp. On the top, a crown symbolizes the Monarch, while four beavers represent the province’s place as part of Canada. Finally, an orb and a cross represent the spiritual and religious aspects of Manitoba life. This Mace was made to celebrate the opening of the second Legislative building. The initials V.R., representing the reigning Monarch Queen Victoria, are engraved on its head. The Table Officers have a tradition of rubbing various symbols on the Mace with their robe sleeves while waiting for the Speaker’s Parade to start, in order to summon good luck for the sitting day.

INTRODUCTION** ide sharing services in Canada and are one of the fastest growing and largest segments of the sharing economy, which connects R individuals or businesses looking for a product or service to those who have it.1 Ride sharing is “an arrangement in which a passenger travels in a private vehicle, usually for a fee and arranged by a means of a website or a mobile application.”2 When ride sharing comes to mind, many think of companies such as Uber, Lyft, and TappCar, which are companies that have expanded their operations within Canada significantly in recent years. Some other interchangeable terms for ride sharing services are transportation network companies and mobility services providers.

  • Bill 30: Redefining the Ride-Sharing Economy in Winnipeg
    Bill 30: Redefining the Ride-Sharing Economy in Winnipeg DREN MALOKU * I. INTRODUCTION lthough Winnipeg’s population has grown by 7 per cent since 2010, the number of taxicab licences is virtually unchanged since 1947.1 A At one cab for every 1252 passengers, Winnipeg’s ratio sits well below Canada’s median of one cab for every 860 persons.2 Soaring accessibility issues combined with a poor taxicab industry safety record, has resulted in the enactment of hasty ridesharing legislation. Bill 30 – The Vehicle for Hire Act (the VFH Act), was first introduced in the Manitoba Legislature (“House”) on March 20th, 2017, during the 2nd session of the 41st legislature. Bill 30 came into effect on February 28th, 2018.3 The VFH Act repealed The Taxi Cab Act, amended The Highway Traffic Act, The Liquor and Gaming Control Act, The Drivers and Vehicles Act, and The Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation Act, and transferred ridesharing jurisdiction over to the city of Winnipeg and other local municipalities from the Province of Manitoba.4 This extension in law-making authority enables Manitoban * Dren Maloku, B.A. (UBC), J.D.
