Morinville Schools rally behind Pink Shirt Day by Lucie Roy Morinville News Corrspodent

The same day Albertans shaved their pink hair for the Annual Hair Massacure cancer fundraiser, Morinville students were once again sporting a slightly different shade of pink for the Annual Pink Shirt Day, an Anti-Bullying Awareness initiative. The movement began in 2007 as a way for two Nova Scotia students to support a fellow student bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Pink Shirt Day has grown over the past nine years to become a national day of awareness about the impacts of bullying. Kindness comes in one size, and it fits all. That was the message shared at Notre Dame, Primeau, Morinville Public Sshool and the Morinville Learning Centre Feb. 24, as well as in some offices and businesses in town. At Primeau and Notre Dame, Tenille, a 22-year-old singer/songwriter from Grand Prairie, told stories about letting who you are light up the world. Now living in Nashville, Tenille is the youngest recipient of the Canadian Country Music Award’s Slaight Music Humanitarian Award, which she received in 2012. In her message, Tenille said every single step is a mini platform you build on your experiences that allows you to lead people with relatability and honesty. She told students every victory is a climb; every failure is a gift wrapped exactly like a present into the shape of new steps bringing you closer to where you are meant to be. Clockwise from top left: Some of the Notre Dame students who assisted entertainer Many students and staff wore pink t-shirts with the Kindness is One Size — Fits Tenille - Alyssa Smith, Clare Rolleston and Morgan Sweezie., MPS students Kohen All motto to show kindness is universal.

National Column: Should kids have the right to die? by Tim Harper

A joint committee dealing with the most emotional of issues to come before this Parliament has boldly opened the door to assisted dying for adolescents and children in this country. The committee, chaired by Toronto Liberal MP Rob Oliphant and Conservative Sen. Kelvin Ogilvie, pulled very few punches in its report released Thursday, recommending the removal of many roadblocks to assisted death, broadening it to include those with psychological suffering and calling for the right to prior consent following the diagnosis of an illness that would lead to loss of competence. It is the age debate, however, that was the most contentious subject before the committee, and it is one issue that could split Canadian political opinion, regardless of the overwhelming support for the right to assisted death. The committee - with the exception of Conservative MPs who issued a largely pre-ordained minority report - recommended the right to physician- assisted dying be extended to minors after a three-year study period following the enactment of a national law, expected in June. Should the Liberal government accept this recommendation, it would move this country into assisted-dying territory known in only two countries in the world: Belgium and the Netherlands. decision to uphold a Manitoba ruling in which a young girl under 16 refused Belgium waited 12 years before extending assisted dying to minors.

In unbearable suffering, proof that the child understands the request, and is the end, that will have to be considered by the minister. At the same time, in a position to make the request him or herself. there is case law that says it is not the parents’ concern.’’ In the Netherlands, children between 12 and 16 must be able to Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, would go nowhere near express their own views, but still need parental consent.

In a unanimous vote, St. Kateri Tekakwitha Academy was selected for Morinville and Sister Alphonse Academy for their new school in St. Albert. St. Kateri lived from 1656-1680, was canonized to sainthood in 2012, and is the first Native American to be canonized by the Church. The top three recommendations for the Morinville school were Pope Francis School, St. John the Baptist School and St. Kateri Tekakwitha. The top three recommendations for the St. Albert School also included Pope Francis School, followed by Sister Alphonse and St. Andre School. Sister Alphonse was a Sister of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nun) and the first teacher at the St. Albert Mission. She accompanied the Oblates in tending to the needs of the first community. “Both individuals are inspiring leaders and outstanding models and witnesses to the Catholic faith,” said Board Chair Noreen Radford.”Recognizing both of our schools as Academies will ensure that our District will offer unique programming for students that will inspire them to model the namesake of their schools in being their very best.” Naming committees met On Jan. 28 and Feb. 2 to engage in a process that would bring three recommendations for each of the two newly- awarded schools to the Board. On Feb. 2 meeting was dedicated to finding names for the new Morinville School. The names recommended within the list had been approved by Archbishop Richard Smith, Archbishop to St. Albert School and Archbishop Paul Terrio to the Morinville Ward and Legal Schools. The new school is to be built in the Westwinds area of Morinville, north of No Frills. No date has been set for construction to begin.

Blue, white and pink flags will soon be flying over municipalities in Alberta as communities raise the Franco- Albertan flag in honour of Rendez-vous de la Francophonie (RVF), running Mar. 3 to 23. This year’s theme is La Francophonie en 3D : Diversité, Dualité, Dynamisme! Morinville will raise the flag at noon Mar. 4 in St. Jean Baptiste Park. Jean-Pierre Grenier created the Franco- Albertan flag as an entry in a Francophone Youth of Alberta contest. In March of 1982, French- Canadian Association of Alberta adopted the design. The flag has a fleur-de-lys in the upper left corner and a wild rose, the provincial flower of Alberta, in the lower right. The field of blue represents the province while the white represents the Francophone. The blue and white stripes represent the waters and roads travelled throughout Alberta by Francophone explorers, settlers and colonists. The provincial flag raising is part of the launch of the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, an initiative of the Canadian Foundation for Cross- Cultural Dialogue, a group which promotes and supports dialogue between the Francophone and Acadian, and all other communities in Canada. But the flag raising is the start to a day of community activities that celebrate Francophone culture and heritage. The flag raising will be followed by school presentations at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m., and static displays from noon until 9 p.m. Once again this year, the Town of Morinville will be hosting a Francophone celebration in the evening at the cultural centre. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and a supper of poutine and salad will be served from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Entertainment by Le Fuzz and Dance, a multilingual world beat folk band from Edmonton, will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Town of Morinville, Morinville Historical and Cultural Society, The Vol. 4 History Committee, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the Centralta Region of the ACFA. More than 9.5 million Canadians speak French, including 538,000 in Alberta. French is the first language of 67,000 Albertans. For more info on Rendezvous la Francophonie, visit RVF.ca.

The charitable giving is a continuation of work done during last week’s head shaving. Last year the Coffee House donated to the Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools initiative to raise $250,000 to build a school in the Philippines. One of the performers in this year’s show is Grade 12 student Marina Casavant, who will be offering some slam poetry. “It’s directed at American politics, and kind of how America is becoming especially integrated with their politics, how they’re viewing it, and how messed up it is,” Casavant said of her original composition. “It kind of smashes Donald Trump.” For Casavant, the appeal of slam poetry is the ability to put a literary and performance spin on subjects she is passionate about. “It’ not necessarily always about the imagery, although that’s a big part,” she said. “It’s really about the passion and how you deliver it. That’s what I enjoy.” Fellow Grade 12 student Leith Hutton will also be offering some poetry at the show in a poetic duet with Liz Turner. The poem they will perform is When Love Arrives by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye. “Very much in the same vein as Marina, I’m doing poetry because it really speaks to me, almost more than music does,” Hutton said. “Music is far more set in the beats and how music is constructed, whereas poetry, especially spoken word, free verse or slam poetry, is so freeing.” Cormier said the MCHS Coffee House will also include a variety music acts ranging from guitar to ukulele as well as a drum solo.

Principal Todd Eistetter (top left) had his facial hair shaved off by Kali MacDonald and Neil Korotash (top right) had his hair shaved off by the highest bidder. Eistetter said the school’s Coffee House in March will raise funds for the cause.
