THE SPEAKER’S WEEKEND EDITION WVol. 19 – No. 7 eekenderFRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020 Visit us on
ON THE STREET Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation mem- bers and supporters picketed outside Timiskaming District Secondary on January 15. The federation has staged a series of ro- tating one-day strikes to press for a resolution of province-wide bargaining issues. The job action reached Temiskaming this week, prompting the region’s English public and French Catholic school boards to close all their schools for the day. English Catholic schools in the region will shut down January 21 for a province-wide, one-day walkout by the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario has said its members will begin rotating one-day strikes next week if progress isn’t made in negotiations.

EARLTON — Amidst a crowd of friends, family members and dignitaries, Christian and Cecile Perron recently cut a ribbon an- nouncing their new grocery outlet in Earlton. The grocery store is called C & C Coffee, Grocer and Food. It is located at 110 115th Street, the home of The Roaster catering service also owned and operated by the Perrons. The store held a Name The Store contest offering a $100 voucher to the person who came up with the best name for the new store. That person was dairy farmer Yoland Leveille who happily ac- cepted his voucher at the December 18 opening, saying, “I thought of the name while milking the cows,” which drew laughs from the crowd. “It was good luck winning on Friday the 13th.” Timiskaming-Cochrane MPP John Vanthof, upon hearing this re- marked, “Maybe I should go back to milking?” Speaking in French and English, Vanthof congratulated the busi- ness owners. “Chris and Cecile saw a need and they are true entrepreneurs. The north is built on people like you who provide a needed service READY SET SHOOT!
