  • 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”.

  • Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging
    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I.

  • April 11, 2019 Dear Senators, I Want to Thank You for the Opportunity To
    April 11, 2019 Dear Senators, I want to thank you for the opportunity to provide input into your Committee's deliberations on the merits of Bill C-69. I regret that my duties as the MLA for Wolseley at the Manitoba Legislature prevent me from making this presentation in person, but I am pleased to offer this short written submission instead. I have two brief points to make: 1. My general comment is that Bill C-69 makes some important improvements to the flawed approach implemented by the previous federal government under Stephen Harper. I also note that reform of this legislation was a key campaign promise made by the current federal government in the last federal election. That said, Bill C-69 needs to be strengthened in several key areas to properly live up to that promise. For instance, it does not come close to restoring proper protections for Canada's waterways. It also fails to provide sufficient direction to prevent situations where important issues of process are undermined by too much discretionary power left in the hands of decision- makers (i.e. politicians like me). As an elected official I fully appreciate the nuances of the legislative process, and the constant lobbying - from all directions - that necessarily surrounds important policy discussions such as this one. On balance, Bill C-69 makes some progress, and I would encourage you to facilitate its passage in its current form if the other option is for the Bill to die on the order paper. 2. My specific comment concerns the lack of any connection between Bill C-69 and SEDAR, the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (https://sedar.com/homepage_en.htm).
