  • Letter to the Minister of Education
    Board Office 830 Powers Street Winnipeg, MB. R2V 4E7 Telephone: 204.586.8061 Fax: 204.589.2504 March 25, 2021 emailed March 25, 2021 Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Room 168 Legislative Bldg. 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Mr. Cullen: I write on behalf of our Seven Oaks School Division Board of Trustees to offer advice and suggestions related to the sweeping changes to education you’ve announced. We’re writing to offer constructive suggestions to benefit the students, staff and community of Seven Oaks for which we care deeply. 1. Equity in funding. We support your goal for all Manitoba students to “succeed, no matter where they live, their background or their individual circumstances.” Seven Oaks and other school divisions with modest assessment have long been disadvantaged. We consistently spend less than other school divisions yet our taxpayers face higher bills. In 2019-2020 we spent $802 per pupil or 6% less than the provincial average. Yet our homeowners paid taxes 2.9 mills over the provincial average. That’s 21% more and that is $391.50 on a house valued at $300,000. We urge you to adopt a uniform provincial mill rate for 2022-2023 school year budgets. That would immediately bring greater fairness to taxation levels throughout the province and ease the burden on those ratepayers who’ve been overtaxed for years. 2. Don’t abandon what’s working. Our Seven Oaks schools are good now and are working hard to get even better. We attach a summary of our results as a system - “Seven Oaks by the Numbers”.

  • 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.
