2003 PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS RESULTS

Now that the election is over member boards are encouraged to take the time to meet with new or re-elected MPP’s to discuss and promote Catholic education priorities (see below for listing of elected/re-elected MPP’s).

OCSTA has sent congratulatory letters to all elected and re-elected MPP’s. These letters articulate OCSTA priorities and request the support of each MPP.

OCSTA post-election strategy information will be forwarded to Directors and Chairs. Member boards are encouraged to check the OCSTA website (see “Elections 2003) for more information on key priorities and post-election communications.

The Passing of a Friend Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board: We were all saddened to learn that Patrick D. (Pat) Meany passed away on October 2, at the age of 80. Patrick Meany was a former chair and trustee in Dufferin-Peel for 24 years. Mr. Meany was a passionate advocate for Catholic education. He described Catholic education as “a tradition of imparting not just knowledge, but wisdom, not just skills, but understanding, not just how to make a living, but how to live.” Mr. Meany is survived by his wife Kathleen, their seven children, and their respective families. For information please contact Bruce Campbell, Public Relations Officer, Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, at (905) 890-0708.
