  • 1 Secondary Education in British Columbia It Is the Aim of the Kindergarten to Grade 12 Programme That All Students Graduate
    Secondary Education in British Columbia 1 It is the aim of the Kindergarten to Grade 12 programme that all students graduate with a sound education that is relevant to their lives. The goals set for schools are defined by standards that provide meaningful measures of students' progress. These standards are realistic expectations of what students should know and be able to do as they progress through 13 years of schooling. The provincial curriculum expresses these standards as expected "learning outcomes" for each subject or course and grade. These learning outcomes reflect patterns of student development and actual standards of achievement within the province. In the primary years, standards are based on expectations for children in their age range. In Grades 4 to 12 standards are based on expected learning outcomes for each grade or course. Meaning of Specific Terms Secondary education in British Columbia includes two levels: Junior Secondary Grades : Grades 8, 9 and 10 Senior Secondary Grades : Grades 11 and 12 Career programmes : There are three types of career programmes at the high school level: secondary school apprenticeship, co-op education, and career preparation. Secondary school apprenticeship programmes and co-op education programmes are made up of workplace-based training. Career preparation programmes consist of six courses at the Grade 11 and 12 level. These courses may either be Ministry-authorized or career preparation courses. The Ministry recognizes all career programmes that have been approved by the school district and registered with the Ministry. Dogwood Diploma : This is the British Columbia Certificate of Graduation for the province's secondary school programme.

  • Celebrating 90 Years of O.O.M.A. 1927
    THE LINK March 2017 Celebrating 90 Years of O.O.M.A. OVERSEAS OLD MARGARETIAN ASSOCIATION 1927 - 2017 O.O.M.A. “Old Girl” Pins OVERSEAS OLD MARGARETIAN ASSOCIATION The first Q.M.S. Old Girl’s gathering was held on June 11, 1927. The School was only six years old, so the fifteen Old Girls present at that meeting would seem a very good percentage of the total number. At that gathering, the Overseas Old Margaretian Association (O.O.M.A.) was formed. A Constitution was drawn up which stated, “The object of the Association is to be a bond of fellowship between former members of the School, and to help them to carry out the School ideals of loyalty, self-discipline and service.” It was at that meeting that the Old Girl’s blazer was designed, with its red and gold binding. For a number of years, since the first School Magazine appeared in the summer of 1928, news of Old Girls was put in the Magazine, but, for some years now, the Old Girls have had their own paper, most suitably entitled, “The Link.” It has been the policy of the Association, throughout the years, to keep dues for members as low as possible to enable everyone to join. It cannot be too strongly stressed that this “bond of fellowship between former members of the School” is a great asset to the School. Since 1945, the O.O.M.A. has had a Memorial Bursary Fund which, each year, has helped a child financially. It was founded “In memory of those former pupils who lost their lives in the World War of 1939-45.” The O.O.M.A.

  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results
    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada.

    NPA 902 RELIEF PLANNING COMMITTEE - TIF REPORT Date Submitted: 23 July 2012 WORKING GROUP: NPA 902 Relief Planning Committee (Ad Hoc) REPORT #: NPA 902 TIF Report 1 File ID: 902RE01A.doc REPORT TITLE: Relief Planning Committee (RPC) Recommendation for NPA 902 Relief (Planning Document and Relief Implementation Plan) OUTCOME: Consensus RELATED TASK(s) #: None BACKGROUND: In December 2011 the Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) initiated its January 2012 General Numbering Resource Utilization Forecast (G-NRUF). The draft aggregate results of this G-NRUF, released on 29 March 2012, indicated that the Projected Exhaust Date (PED) for NPA 902 had moved in from April 2017 to January 2016. The CNA notified Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) staff that NPA 902 was in relief planning since the PED was less than fifty (50) months in the future. On 24 May 2012, the CRTC issued Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2012-309, in which it established a CISC ad hoc Relief Planning Committee (RPC) to examine options for providing relief to area code 902 in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The Commission also identified that NPA 902 was projected to exhaust in April 2015 and declared NPA 902 to be in a Jeopardy Condition. In this TIF Report, the NPA 902 Relief Planning Committee is submitting a Planning Document which includes the following recommendations: 1) The Relief Method should be a distributed overlay of a new NPA Code on Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island NPA 902; 2) NPA Code 782 should be the Relief NPA
