20080527 Updated Table of IRS List Decisions for Crawford The institutions listed on the following pages have been requested to be added to the list of Indian residential schools recognized by the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. These requested institutions have been researched by Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada and assessed against the test in Article 12 of the Settlement Agreement for determining whether the institutions should be considered an Indian residential school. The decision about whether the institution will or will not be included in the Settlement Agreement is set out on the following pages, as well as the brief reason for the decision. If no decision is set out on the following pages, the institution is currently under review. Please note that, although a decision may have already been made with respect to a certain institution, you are entitled to submit a further request for that institution. Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada will revisit its decision on a particular institution based on any new information or supporting documentation you are able to provide. Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada will respond to all requests directly to the requestor in writing. In order for an institution to be added to the settlement, Article 12 of the Settlement Agreement requires that the institution satisfies both parts of the following two-part test: (i) The child must have been placed in a residence away from the family home by or under the authority of Canada for the purpose of education; and (ii) Canada must have been jointly or solely responsible for the operation of the residence and care of the children resident there (e.g. the institution was federally owned; Canada stood as a parent to the child; Canada was at least partially responsible for the administration of the institution; Canada inspected or had a right to inspect the institution; Canada stipulated the institution as an Indian Residential School). The test focuses on the residential component of the institution. The institution must have a residence, and Canada must have been jointly or solely responsible for the operation of that residence.

  • The Northerner
    The Northerner ANNUAL REPORT 2019/2020 Images within this report were taken both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pictures of students interacting in groups without masks were taken at the beginning of the 2019 school year, before the onset of the pandemic. Message from the Board Chairperson Last year began like any other year but ended in June with no students in the school, only teachers and some support staff. As each of us is acutely aware, our world changed significantly with the onset of COVID-19. In March, students left our schools to go home and begin their remote learning journey. Our staff were magnificent as they, with little to no preparation, transitioned from classroom instruction to online and learning package instruction. We have endless stories of staff going above and beyond to ensure students received the best education given the unprecedented circumstances we found ourselves in. In the next pages you will read about our accomplishments in the 2019/20 school year. Much of this was accomplished with the onset of a Pandemic that kept us from doing things the Frontier way, carrying out our business face to face. The Frontier School Division Board of Trustees is grateful to all fourteen hundred employees for their willingness to pivot and do what was required to make last year a successful year. It required courage and fortitude, and the true character of the Frontier family emerged as we faced these difficult situations. For that we are eternally grateful. Thank you. Linda Ballantyne FRONTIER SCHOOL COMMITTEE 3 The ability to communicate effectively is a fundamental part Leading of our daily lives… which is why our Divisional Literacy Literacy Plan ensures students are achieving reading and writing outcomes appropriate for their age and grade.

  • School Boards and Trusteeship in Manitoba
    School Boards and Trusteeship in Manitoba Updated August 2020 School Boards and Trusteeship in Manitoba Table of contents Introduction and overview Page 1 The role of school boards and school trustees Page 2 School board elections Page 5 The Manitoba School Boards Association Page 8 FAQ Page 10 For more information Page 11 Updated August 2020 Introduction and overview In Canada, education is a provincial responsibility. In Manitoba, the responsibility for the delivery of public education to students in kindergarten through grade twelve graduation has been delegated to school boards. School boards are elected bodies responsible for the planning and delivery of educational services within geographic regions known as school divisions or school districts. For practical purposes, there is no difference between a division or district. Provincial legislation in the form of The Public Schools Act and The Education Administration Act defines the structure, obligations and responsibilities of school boards; within the bounds imposed upon them by this legislation, school boards are themselves a law-making level of government. The primary function of a school board is to set policy. A school board sets policy through the decisions it makes at public meetings. School boards also hold regular committee meetings, at which committee members— trustees appointed to serve in that capacity—consider specific aspects of school board business. Preparing for and participating in school board and committee meetings are the main functions of a school trustee. School trustees have the same rights as every other elector in the division or district, plus the right to speak and vote at school board meetings.

  • Amalgamating School Divisions Won't Increase
    (FB015) MARCH 2003 AMALGAMATING SCHOOL DIVISIONS WON’T INCREASE EFFICIENCY Larger is not Cheaper Executive Summary ¨ The Manitoba government recently reduced the total number of school divisions in the province from 54 to 37. Its main purpose so was to save costs on administration. ¨ The Manitoba FRAME report provides a yearly accounting of school division spending. If larger school divisions are more efficient than smaller divisions, the difference would be expected to show up in the FRAME data. ¨ Ti ny school divisions (under 1000 students) do have higher per pupil expenditure rates and administration costs. However, the vast majority of divisions (those with more than 1000 students) show very little relationship between size and rates of spending. ¨ The largest school division in the province, Winnipeg School Division #1, has very high per pupil costs while much smaller divisions within the city have much lower per pupil costs. ¨ Some mid-sized school divisions like Hanover and Garden Valley have very low per-pupil expenditures and administrative costs. Emulating examples like these makes more sense than simply creating larger divisions. ¨ The school board model itself, with its diffuse funding sources , lies at the heart of the problem. It is time to think about a more transparent and accountable model. Introduction The Manitoba government recently reduced the total number of school divisions from 54 to 37. Its stated purpose for doing so was to improve efficiency and save money on administrative costs. This backgrounder will compare the spending habits of school divisions and attempt to determine whether or not there is a relationship between larger size and higher efficiency.

  • Manitoba Envirothon
    Manitoba Forestry Association Manitoba Envirothon 2013-2014 Summary of Activities Looking south from Brandon Research Centre towards flooded Assiniboine River Valley, May 2014 The Manitoba Envirothon is a program of THINK TREES – Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA). In 1996, MFA explored the idea of Envirothon. Four teams participated in the first Manitoba Envirothon in 1997 at Birds Hill Provincial Park. In 2006, the MFA hosted the North American Canon Envirothon and made Envirothon one of its core programs. Due to the popularity of the Manitoba Envirothon, it evolved into a regional and provincial format in 2010. In 2011 Manitoba won the Canon Envirothon—the first and only Canadian team ever to do so. Today, the Manitoba Envirothon is still going strong with over 2,500 students participating to date! OVERVIEW For the past 18 years the Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA), along with it partners and funders, has been the proud host organization of the Manitoba Envirothon. This program has provided Manitoba’s high school students a unique and fun was to learn about the environment and current issues. In 2014, 43 teams competed at the Regional level, with 20 teams advancing to the Provincial level. The topic theme for 2014, Sustainable Agriculture \ Locally Grown, allowed the students and advisors to explore the roles and responsibilities needed to successfully manage food supplies, particularly local ones, and best management practices that hopefully ensure their operations are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. In 2014 there were five Regional Envirothon competitions that were held throughout the province during the week of April 21 to 25, 2014.
