Trustee Chen indicated that reports highlight the fact that some people do not want to touch the things that Asian people touched. When Asian people cough, they assume they have coronavirus. Kids in schools joke about testing their fellow students who are of Chinese origin. In Ontario, the York Region District School Board thankfully dismissed parents’ petition that asked for more stringent rules on coronavirus towards Chinese students who recently return from China. Trustee Chen indicated that their Board Chair rejected the call and advised that such requests run the risk of demonstrating bias and racism. Trustee Chen indicated that as a newcomer school trustee and a member of colour, she would like to emphasize that racism and xenophobia have no space in the WSD. Trustee Chen also asked the administration to remind all the schools through communications or principal/staff meetings that coronavirus risk in Canada remains low and to Page 7 of 102 February 3, 2020 dismiss any racist comments that might be made among students. Trustee Chen was hoping that WSD staff are equipped to be able to respond to any racist statements that may arise in schools, especially in the context of the coronavirus. 127 – Parent Council Meetings Trustee Chen informed trustees that she attended the Parent Council meeting a Dufferin and Earl Grey School and discussed the draft budget. 128 – Pinkham School – Breakfast 2Go Trustee Chen informed trustees that on January 24, 2020, she went to Pinkham School and helped with the distribution of Breakfast 2Go. 129 – MSBA – Meeting with City Councilor Trustee Chen informed trustees that on January 22, 2020, she met with the members of Manitoba School Boards Association and City Councilor Vivian Santos was present as well.

  • STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY of DISCUSSIONS – May 7, 2015 - 2
    THE WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – MAY 7, 2015 1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Committee members approved the Meeting Agenda of May 7, 2015, as distributed. 2. INTERAC PAYMENT At a previous meeting, Committee members agreed to discuss Interac Payment Options/Automated Banking Machines in schools. Mr. Doug Edmond, Director of Research, Planning & Systems Management was in attendance to provide an overview on electronic payments in the Winnipeg School Division. Committee members were informed that as a result of previous discussions at Student Advisory Committee meetings, regarding automated banking machines, administration has obtained information regarding the viability of placing Automated Banking Machines (ATM) in schools. Committee members were informed that the cost to acquire an ATM is approximately $4,000. In addition to the cost of the machine, whether purchased outright or leased, the customer is responsible for the costs of installation including electrical and internet or telephone communication hook-ups, anchoring/placement, and security. The replenishment of cash to the machine is usually the responsibility of the customer although some third-party services may be available. The customers generate revenues from the machine by charging a user transaction fee which ranges between $1.00 and $1.75. Administration has previously contacted high schools in the Winnipeg School Division and the cafeterias in most schools are operated through a food service contractor who offers interact as a method of payment. At least one school indicated that a cash-back option is available with a $1.50 charge. In the review conducted, other considerations regarding ATM’s were noted.

  • Aspers and Harper, a Toried Love Ties That Bind Canwest to the Conservatives
    Aspers and Harper, A Toried Love Ties that bind CanWest to the Conservatives. View full article and comments here http://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2007/11/13/ToriedLove/ By Marc Edge Published: November 13, 2007 TheTyee.ca [Editor's note: This is the first of four excerpts from Marc Edge's new book Asper Nation: Canada's Most Dangerous Media Company.] Its final report on the news media in Canada was not released by the Standing Senate Committee on Transportation and Communications until June of 2006. It had been more than three years since the study was conceived. It had been disbanded twice while Parliament was dissolved for federal elections. In the end, the Senate report was released by a new committee chair, Lise Bacon, as the term of Senator Joan Fraser had expired. The political landscape onto which the report landed had also been radically altered by the federal election earlier that year. After more than a dozen years of Liberal rule, a minority Conservative government came to power that February under Stephen Harper. A deregulationist regime in Ottawa meant that any prescription the senators might have had for legislative reform of Canada's news media ownership had little hope of being adopted. Perhaps that was why they proposed such modest measures to curb the growing power of Canada's media giants. The likelihood of any limits on media ownership being enacted by the new ruling party in Ottawa also grew scant for another reason. The Asper heirs had moved almost as close to the Conservatives as their father had been to the Liberal party.
