What is the biggest barrier to communities engaging in the development of an Asset Management Plan? Cost is not always a barrier; most plans are relatively low cost.

FCM offers up to $60,000 to successful municipal applicants.

Box 8700, Confederation Building St. John’s, NL A1B 4J6 Dear Minister Jackman: Effective September 1, 2013 the four English Language School Boards were consolidated into the Newfoundland and Labrador English School Board. The respective Chairpersons for the former boards were: Goronwy Price (Labrador), Don Brown (Western), John George (Nova Central) and Milton Peach (Eastern).

Therefore, it is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2012-2013 on behalf of the former Nova Central School Board. This report provides a balanced summary of the efforts and accomplishments of the Nova Central School Board in respect to the goals that are articulated in its strategic plan 2011- 2014, which addressed four areas: Student academic achievement, student retention, safe and caring schools and school leadership. The Nova Central School Board’s commitment to students and to learning is affirmed by the contents of the Annual Report.
