Contributed photo On January 10, 280 Queen’s University students travelled to Ottawa to attend the three-day 71st Queen’s Model Parliament. Among them were some 30 first year students, including RAY’s Place scholar Rosalyn Martin. To be accepted, a student needs to be of good academic standing in the faculties of arts or science and have an interest in and knowledge of Canadian politics. Students join a party and practice writing bills before visiting the House of Commons for meetings with political leaders and listening to the reading of 11 bills. The event encourages students to learn about the process of parliament, while experiencing Ottawa and networking with professional politicians. And for Martin, who is passionate about politics and development, it was an opportunity to sit in the Speaker’s Chair, which she hopes may one day be her office chair.

Conservative Party of Canada members have the responsibility of choosing a nominee that properly represents the party and the riding because there is an overwhelming likelihood that that person will become the next member of parliament for Simcoe-Grey. MP Kellie Leitch has not made herself available and has had a standoffish relationship with the media. As residents, we didn`t really get to know her. She is happy to promote her awards programs or slam the Liberals’ budgets but is less than forthcoming on other topics. When she embarked on her party leadership campaign of Canadian values testing for immigrants and the Not My MP campaign was underway, a large banner was draped from her Collingwood constituency office one night. For example, we asked would Dr. Leitch like to make a statement regarding the banner that was hung at her Collingwood constituency office last night? We got this curt answer: The following quote can be attributed to Kellie: “Freedom of speech is a The Creemore Continuation School choir performing at the 1947 commencement.

We keep hearing about how she has a lot of local support but we always got the impression that she had her sights on Canada’s top job and that her focus on local representation came second.

The fabric, donated by House of Stitches quilting shop owner Cheryl Robertson, is being delivered to a women’s centre in the Batey of Cangrejo, which was outfitted with sewing machines as part of a previous mission. The centre provides a space for women in the male-dominated culture to gather. HHART organizer Steve Wallace explained, “Last year the Rotary Club of Sosúa received a call from a ladies sewing guild explaining that due to a massive electrical surge incident, their sewing machines were unusable. That club reached out to HHART for assistance and we managed to deliver over 10 machines to them. The guild creates clothing for orphanages and the poor. The bulk of this year’s material donation will go to the guild.” Davies is a member of the Rotary Club of Wasaga Beach, which organizes Staff photo: Trina Berlo the Haitian Humanitarian Assistance Bryan Davies (left) is going on a second Rotary organized mission trip to Dominican Republic, this time delivering and Relief Team (HHART) missions. fabric, donated by Cheryl Robertson, to a sewing guild.
