‘I was sandbagged’:Rivette
By Greg Kielec A proposed funding cap for outside agencies funded by the city has been canned. The proposal by Councillor David Mur- phy to cap funding to arts and culture or- ganizations and groups which provide support services for seniors was voted down by a majority of council members. Murphy, who proposed the $500,000 cap for next year, voted for the proposal along with councillors Leslie O’Shaughnessy, Glen Grant and Andre Rivette also voting in favour. Murphy advocated supporting outside agencies, but said it cannot be at any cost. “We have to live within our means.” He argued the cap would reflect the city’s new goal of sustainability and fiscal ac- countability. He said it would essentially meet the needs of outside agencies without compromising the city’s future financial health. The cap would reduce the budget for out- side agency funding by $75,000. That, cou- pled with a number of smaller cuts could have one per cent off the city tax rate, he said. The proposal was followed by some gamesmanship by Councillor Denis Carr, who wanted Murphy to identify which agencies to cut before deciding on the fund- ing cap and then Councillor Denis Thibault who asked the original motion be deferred. They both subsequently withdrew their motions after a short debate. Councillor Thibault said he liked “the in- tent” of Murphy’s funding cap. “I don’t mind a $500,000 funding cap. I think it’s a good goal to have. But he said it is a goal likely better set in the future –“let’s not tie ourselves down yet.” But Councillor Rivette said if the city does not cap the funding “who going to pull that sign in” indicating the city has unlimited funding for outside agencies. “Where do we draw the line here? Somebody better pull the sign in.” Grant said the city must simply tell out- side agencies “this is the amount of money available”, then let the agencies find ways to reduce their costs. “Damnit, let’s make a decision,” he argued. But Councillor Syd Gardiner said “it’s pre- mature” to be discussing capping outside agency funding. He has sat through the budget process where groups have been warned the city may slash future funding. “If they didn’t get the message, they have a major problem. The message was clear.” Council nixes funding cap “I just felt it was totally unfair for someone who’s running the election, in charge of the election,” MacDonald told The Journal on Monday. Gleeson wrote after MacDonald’s initial complaint that he should contact Labelle- Gelinas. “As I'm sure you know, sections 11 and 12 of theMunicipal Elections Act gives the Clerk of the municipality the responsibility to con- duct municipal elections and to establish pro- cedures and processes that are needed for the conducting of the election. Thematter of your concern clearly falls within the responsibility of the Clerk, as outlined in these two sections. “Accordingly, I suggest that you contact the Clerk. . . to seek clarification of this matter. By way of a copy of this e-mail, I am informing Ms. Labelle-Gélinas of your concerns, so that she may properly address them.”
By Greg Kielec A Cornwall city councillor says he was bullied “big time” in a closed session of council after he was critical of city ad- ministration in a video interview he gave to a local media outlet. “They sandbagged me, that is the bottom line,” Rivette said of an “orchestrated” pri- vate lynching he received behind closed doors before last Monday’s council session. Rivette believes he “struck a nerve” when he advocated taxpayers shouldn’t be sad- dled with the estimated $1.4 million cost of settlements and legal fees the city has paid in the past year to deal with personnel is- sues. “If you are not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t be scared to be more trans- parent . . . There’s been so many of these buyouts the residents of this community have every right to ask ‘how much?’ and ‘why?’” “It’s residents’ dollars. People spending the money should be held accountable for how it’s being spent.” The interview by the Cornwall Free News was added to the agenda by Mayor Bob Kilger at the beginning of a closed session prior to Monday’s city council meeting and then the video of the interview was played for all council members to see. Rivette said the issue should never been relegated to a closed council session be- cause it was not a personnel issue. He is so upset with his treatment that he is refusing to attend a governance session being planned for council in the spring. “That is not the way to be treating any council member if you want to have team work. I do not think that the video said anything out of place (or) divulged any- thing, it was basically routine how things operate in the city of Cornwall.” Rivette thinks council is not getting all the information it needs to make proper deci- sions “and I think that’s got to stop.: “It’s telling me somebody is trying to control the system.” Mayor Bob Kilger defended the decision to air the issue in closed session. “It wasn’t about an interview . . . it was about an iden- tifiable person,” he said this morning. He City councillor cries foul over verbal lynching in closed session
Photo byGregKielec Veteran city councillor Andre Rivette is incensed after being attacked by a majority of city councillors during a closed session last Monday, after he criticized city adminis- tration in an interview with The Cornwall Free News.
Councillor Denis Thibault would not comment on the matter because it was dis- cussed on during an in camera session. He noted that Rivette stressed during his inter- view that they were his “personal com- ments,” adding: “On that point he is right.” Councillor David Murphy said he would “beg to debate” Rivette’s argument the issue should not have been discussed be- hind closed doors because “it is a personnel because of the nature of who it involved.” “There was some clarification needed. I think that’s what happened, and I think we are moving forward.” No councillors have ever brought up that they felt bullied or intimidated during a session of council, Murphy said. But if a councillor feels he or she is being bullied, there are “proper “ steps they can take, Murphy said. As for Rivette’s accusation that he was bullied or sandbagged during the closed session, Murphy professed his innocence. “I don’t believe I was one of those who would sandbag him, at least it would never be done intentionally. As far as bullied, that’s not in my nature,” he said. Follow @gkielec on Twitter. For breaking news, go to www.editionap.ca and click on The Journal.

Mark MacDonald said he was alarmed when he was sent a photo indicating clerk Denise Labelle-Gelinas’ support for Kilger. Labelle-Gelinas did not immediately return a call for comment. MacDonald complained about the clerk’s partisanship in an email to Christopher Glee- son of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. He initially complained that Labelle-Gelinas had provided three copies of voters’ lists to the Kilger campaign, contrary to election rules. He filed a further complaint after learn- ing that Labelle-Gelinas was part of a Kilger support team during the fall 2010 election. By Greg Kielec
would not say whether he thought council- lors followed proper decorum in the closed session. Councillor Leslie O’Shaughnessy flatly said “no” when asked by The Journal if he thought council had treated Rivette prop- erly. He said he eventually walked out of the session at city hall “because I just didn’t feel comfortable.” He said the mayor has no right to interfere with a councillor’s right to free speech. “What an individual council member says is entirely up to that council member. And the mayor cannot muzzle council mem- bers,” O’Shaughnessy said. “If he doesn’t agree with what they say, then that’s fine. He has no extra authority to say you can’t do this and you can’t do that. Every council member is responsible for their own conduct.” But O’Shaughnessy also defended the de- cision to air the matter in a closed session, arguing councillors are “essentially person- nel”, despite the fact they are elected mem- bers of council. “You have to remember ... our obligation is to the corporation... by virtue of the de- cisions that we make and everything, we are, (and) I would be considered personnel. We are a board of directors and we are paid by the city of Cornwall.”

More than 100 people lined McConnell Avenue near the Cornwall Community Hospital Saturday afternoon to protest the hospital’s bilingualism policy.
More than 100 protest hospital language policy
Chris Cameron, a nurse who has been car- rying out a one-person protest in front of the hospital. Cornwall native Laurie Iwachniuk-Bran- chaud was collecting signatures for a peti- tion along the line of sign-toting protesters. She was hoping the protest will force the hospital to re-examine its hiring practice. She no longer works at Cornwall Commu- nity Hospital, but said many of her friends are in temporary positions and cannot gain full-time employment because of the lan- guage barrier. “Today we’re making a statement to Queen’s Park, we’re making a statement to Cornwall Community Hospital and of
course city council and Jim McDonell that something has to be done here. The citizens of Cornwall and the majority are not happy with their unfair hiring policies and we want them to take a peek at it.” South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis, whose municipality is withholding $30,000 of funding to the hospital over its bilingual hiring policy, was also on hand. “We’re all here for the same reason. I think it’s a very historic day here today because people are standing up for their own rights,” McGillis said. He said the size of the protest was a sign the “silent majority” is stepping forward “because of lot of people in politics don’t
want to speak up about what is going on.” He said the issue is not about holding back money, “it is about people: This is about people’s livelihoods,” he stressed. Barb Romik, of Ottawa, said she was “hor- rified” to see the focus on French language when only four per cent of the population speaks Canada’s second official language. “I left this rotten place in the ‘80s because French was taking over,” but upon her re- turn to the area she has found it has become worse – “and good luck getting a job.” Follow @gkielec on Twitter.

About 100 people lined McConnell Av- enue near Cornwall Community Hospital on Saturday to protest the hospital’s bilingualism hiring policy. Placard-carrying protesters upset with what they believe is discriminatory hiring practices against Anglophones, stretched from the corner of the hospital’s entrance al- most all the way south to the McConnell Medical Centre, under the watchful eyes city police and private security. “This is a great turnout. It’s democracy at work here. We can make change, Ontarians stand up for change,” said protest organizer Cornwall city council has decided not to immerse itself in the language debate gripping Cornwall Community Hospital. Councillors unanimously decided to shelf a motion from South Stormont urging the city withhold money to the hospital over its bilingual hiring policy. The majority of councillors argued the mu- nicipal council table was not the place to de- bate provincial language policy. There was a crowd of at least 50 people in the council chambers, many of them French, who erupted in applause after each council- lor spoke in opposition to the South Stor- mont motion. Councillor Leslie O’Shaughnessy said he had heard a lot of comment on the issue – “it seems to be creating steam” – but he recom- mended city council take no action of South Stormont’s motion. “I believe it would be detrimental for everybody.” The city has recently given $8.4 million to the hospital – during his previous term on council, the city gave the hospital $5 million, O’Shaugnessy said. None of that money was designated to support either English or French patients. “Health care is for everyone in Cornwall, regardless of the language they speak.” He also said city council has no authority over what is essentially a hospital issue. The discussion about bilingualism requirements can occur at the hospital board or through union representatives, “but not at this table.” Councillor Glen Grant agreed with the hos- pital’s intent to provide French language By Greg Kielec
Cornwall city council opts to stay out of bilingualism fray
Photo by Greg Kielec Cornwall city councillor Elaine MacDonald, left, chats with an audience member prior to last Monday’s council meeting. Council, in a chamber packed with both English and French language supporters, opted to stay out of the hospital bilingualism debate.
Mayor Bob Kilger said “this fabric of both French and English” has been a “rich part of our history” going back 240 years. The com- munity’s bilingual nature “is truly an asset” when marketing the city to outsiders, he added. Follow @gkielec on Twitter. For breaking news, go to www.editionap.ca and click on The Journal.

cultural diversity in the community. “This argument really has no place at this table,” MacDonald said. “There is a subtext there. We all realize it’s about language.” Councillor Andre Rivette said he against withholding money from the hospital. But he also believes advanced French language skills are really necessary in dealing with pa- tients. He believes that “intermediate French would be good”.
services, but said, to the applause of lan- guage protesters, there is a problem with how the policy is being implemented. Councillor Denis Thibault said the way the issue has been presented is dividing the city. “It is not an issue for us to debate,” he said. “I think it’s a dead issue.” Councillor Elaine MacDonald said the dis- cussion gives city council the opportunity to “affirm” its respect for language rights and

The Cornwall area’s anti-smuggling task force seized close to 100 case of contra- band cigarettes over a three week pe- riod last month. On Feb. 7, while conducting surveillance near the Cornwall Harbour, members of the Cornwall Regional Task Force observed a boat approaching the shoreline with no navigational lights. Moments later, a vehi- cle was observed approaching the boat. As CRTF members approached the area, two men fled on foot. A short time later, the two men were apprehended without inci- dent. Based on the investigation, a search warrant was obtained and conducted to search the outbuildings and vehicles lo- cated at a local Cornwall area residence.

City has shown no remorse for violating whistleblower law LETTERS/OPINION
guilty to save taxpayers the legal costs of a trial, inferring it was not really guilty. However, the court had found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the city was guilty as charged on an agreed statement of facts. The three retaliating managers and munic- ipal councilors have offered no apologies to Shay or to the other employees of the lodge for violating the
Shay wanted to properly address resident abuse but Shay never wanted to experi- ence the dangers of becoming a whistle blower. In fact, she suffered so badly from the internal bullying, discipline and ha- rassment by her managers that she devel- oped a serious, stress-induced medical condition. She is still unable to work be-
Ontario’s Ministry of Health did not react to Shay’s pleas for help. She had to launch her own civil action for reinstatement, and only thereafter did the ministry in- voke its powers to charge the employer. The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Attorney General have acknowl- edged to Shay that they have learned from this case and that more can be done to give proper effect to the intention of the legislation to employees in the workplace, to ensure reporting of abuse. Shay believes the Ministry must ensure long-term care home operators are edu- cated to prevent abuse from ever happen- ing. However, if abuse does happen, and if it is reported in good faith, provincial authorities must further ensure there is no retaliation towards the employees of the home. If there is retaliation, the province must be accessible and responsive to charge and prosecute retaliation, as it did in Shay’s case. If there has been a convic- tion for retaliation, again the Ministry must ensure the retaliation stops. Bullies should not be working in long-term care homes, at any level. Shay hopes the Ministry’s willingness to prosecute and the conviction will support more members of the profession in ad- dressing resident abuse. She hopes that members will to step forward and make their knowledge, fears and suggestions known to the task force.

The following opinion piece was writ- ten for the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario by lawyer Fay Brunning who represented Diane Shay in her historic whistle-blowing case against the city.
On October 26, 2011, the City of Cornwall was convicted of ille- gally retaliating against Diane Shay, a regis- tered nurse who went to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in 2008 to report elder abuse at Glen Stor Dun Lodge. In the months that followed,
cause her condition has re- lapsed and worsened. She does not believe any nurse should have to go through what she has endured for over three years. So, what has been learned? The media and the public in Cornwall have been demand- ing answers. Two of the three retaliating managers are no longer employed by the City, although the terms of their re- spective departures has not been disclosed to the public. Shay hopes that this situa- tion will be studied by the Ministry of Health and oper-
whistleblower protections under both the legislation and the City’s own policies. There was no apology to the public, nor to the residents of the lodge. In November, Shay asked Ontario’s Ministry of Health to appoint an external moni- tor to provide ongoing whistleblower protection be- cause the City’s chief admin- istrative officer, one of the retaliating managers, misled the public and the media when he was quoted in print as stating that resident abuse
The three retaliating managers and municipal councilors have offered no apologies to Shay or to the other employees of the lodge for violating the whistleblower protections under both the legislation and the City’s own policies.

To the editor: I am troubled by the widespread com- plaints of election fraud to obstruct the electoral process and to suppress the op- position vote in many ridings across Canada in the May 2, 2011 federal elec- tion. Voter suppression by directing opposition voters to non-existent polling stations and harassing opposition voters so that they don’t vote is an unacceptable practice that violates the Canada Elections Act and is il- legal. The maximum penalty upon convic- tion is a $5,000 fine, five years in jail, or both. We should be encouraging more people to vote in our democracy not discourage them by fraudulent phone calls. This serious attack on our democratic right to vote requires a full public inquiry to find out who is responsible for this election fraud to prevent people from voting. People and campaigns responsible for these voter suppression tactics should be Shay was bullied, disciplined and harassed by her managers. In September 2009, she was notified that after 17 years with an un- blemished record, her employment was terminated, allegedly due to a restructur- ing. The City of Cornwall, which operates Glen Stor Dun Lodge, was found guilty of retaliating against Shay for complying with the law and her professional and ethi- cal obligations to report abuse. It was or- dered to pay a fine of $15,000, plus a 25 per cent victim surcharge. This is the first time Ontario’s Ministry of Health has prose- cuted an operator of a long-term care home. Despite being convicted, the City of Corn- wall showed no remorse for having vio- lated the law. In fact, it claimed in its first press release to the public that it pleaded

The CAO had to retract his statement be- cause the ministry confirmed to Shay and to the media that its investigation of the in- cident confirmed resident abuse. The Ministry declined to appoint a monitor, claiming it does not have authority to do so.

Nurses on the front lines have to believe the legal system will immediately enforce their right to legal protections, without any allowance for bullying, harassment or termination of employment. Justice de- layed is justice denied. When the retalia- tion was happening in 2008 and 2009,

Colts clinch second place overall
Schools make the cut Two Cornwall schools have made a list of the top 20 fastest improving Ontario elementary schools pub- lished by The Fraser Institute on Monday. Placing ninth on the list is St Anne’s Catholic School, and placing 16th is East Front Public School. The annual ranking of Ontario ele- mentary schools allows parents to re- view the academic performance of their child’s school over the past five years and compare it to that of other schools in their community and across the province, according to the institute. “Our report card is the only objective, reliable tool that shows which schools across Ontario have improved, or fallen behind, in terms of reading, writing, and mathematics over the past five years,” said Michael Thomas, Fraser In- stitute associate director of school per- formance studies. New NDP executive The Stormont-Dundas-South Glen- garry provincial and federal NDP rid- ing associations elected their executive members for 2012 at their joint annual general meetings on Feb. 29 at the Navy Veterans Association in Cornwall. Former Cornwall Mayor Brian Lynch was re-elected as president of both the SDSG provincial and federal NDP rid- ing associations. Lynch said that 2011 was a very busy year for the local NDP as they increased the local membership by 40 per cent and ran strong local federal and provin- cial election campaigns. EMS headquarters feted Federal, provincial, and municipal representatives gathered Friday to cel- ebrate the completion and grand open- ing of the new regional ambulance headquarters, which provides emer- gency medical services to residents of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry . The new, 28,000-square-foot facility is located on Campbell Street in Corn- wall’s Business Park and allows Corn- wall and S, D & G Emergency Medical Services to consolidate its entire admin- istrative, logistical and operational services under one roof. City drinking water best For the fourth straight year, the city of Cornwall’s drinking water system has scored a perfect inspection rating from the Ontario Ministry of Environment. “These results once again confirm that the citizens of Cornwall enjoy drinking water that is second to none,” said Mayor Bob Kilger. The city of Cornwall received a 100 per cent inspection rating in its 2011- 2012 drinking water system inspection report following a thorough inspection of Cornwall’s drinking water system on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. The Ministry of En- vironment inspection covered a wide range of areas such as treatment processes, training and certification, water quality monitoring and reporting mechanisms. TO THE POINT News in brief from Cornwall and the surrounding area
By Greg Kielec The Cornwall Colts clinched second over- all in the Central Canada Hockey League over the weekend without even hitting the ice. A 3-0 Brockville loss to the Ottawa Junior Senators – the Colts likely first-round oppo- nent -- on Saturday ensured the Colts will finish in second, regardless of the outcome of the teams’ remaining games. The Colts set themselves up to clinch sec- ond place with a 7-3 win over the fourth- overall Carleton Place Canadians Thursday night. It was a stellar performance for Tyson Spink , who scored four goals, including a backhand while on his knees to lead the Colts to the win. The win left the Colts second-overall with a five-point cushion over the Brockville Braves who remain third overall, one point ahead of the Carleton Place Canadians. The Nepean Raiders sit atop the league standings eight points ahead of the Colts. Michael Borkowski – who potted a goal and three assists for a four point game – got the Colts’ got on the board at the 15:16 mark of the first period. Spink scored a powerplay marker two minutes later and then notched another one three minutes into the second period to make it 3-0. It looked like the Colts were on their way to a rout after Michael Phillips made it 4-0 nine minutes into the second period, but the fourth overall Canadians closed the gap to two with two quick goals just a little over two minutes apart midway into the second. Roman Ammirato expanded the Colts lead to three goals one minute later, but Carleton Place scored 25 seconds later to close the gap again. But if the Canadians had any thoughts Have Ottawa in their sights for first round of playoffs March 15 The Upper Canada Playhouse is a hub of activity these days with the construction of a new production storage area and the official opening of the recently com- pleted new box office. But the real action begins when Norm Foster’s hilarious hit comedy The Four- some soon takes to the stage, running from March 16-April 1. In fact the four funny guys who’ll keep audiences in stitches have already arrived and it promises to be a fun-filled early start to the Playhouse’s new 2012 Season. The Playhouse has built its reputation on laughs, and audiences will get a bellyful of those as veteran actors Jesse Collins, Richard Bauer, Sweeney MacArthur and Brian Young bring this popular comedy to life on The Playhouse stage that set de- signer Sean Free has transformed into a functional golf course. In fact two chunks of the stage have had to be removed to allow the actors to properly swing their golf clubs. One of this popular playwright’s funniest plays to date, the show features four friends who meet after years apart for a round of golf. In the course of this reunion they catch up with each other’s lives and their stories, secrets, schemes and surprises have consistently left audiences howling with laughter in virtually every theatre in the country for years. Women in the audi- ence have just as much fun as the men as The Journal
of completing the comeback, they were ex- tinguished by Spink who notched his third goal of the game on a powerplay with less than four minutes to play in the second. Spink scored his fourth goal, another pow- erplay maker, with less than eight minutes left in the game to make it 7-3. He is now tied with Ryan MacLean of Nepean for third in league scoring with 85 points. Borkowski’s four-point night moves him into fifth place in league scoring with 82 points. The Colts play their final regular season Photos by Greg Kielec Cornwall Colts captain Kyle Baun, above, eyes a point shot for a possible deflection during action against the Carleton Place Canadians Thursday in Cornwall. Below right, Tyson Spink lead the Colts with four goals, including a highlight reel back- hand from his knees for the hattrick late in the second period. the characters reveal their insecurities and engage in an hilarious and poignant game of one-upmanship as the play unfolds. “The great thing about the show is the fact that you don’t have to know a thing about golf. It’s just a fun thing for them to be doing as the comedy unfolds,” said Artistic Director Donnie Bowes. “It’s full of the kind of humour audiences have come to rely on Norm Foster to de- liver-comedy that comes from real peoples’ lives and predicaments. And the cast is iron-clad.” The characters are an interesting mix of men from all walks of life. There’s Ted, played by Jesse Collins, who’s on his sec- ond marriage with a younger woman and just a tad insecure about the age difference. A drinker, he fills his golf bag with enough beer to ignite the foursome as the game progresses. Collins also directs the play, bringing his experience and love of both di- recting and golf to the play. Brian Young plays Cameron, a worrier and a hypochondriac by nature who’s in- secure about his job as a TV ad salesman. Richard Bauer plays Rick, an arrogant, womanizing and manipulative bachelor who sells boats for a living. Finally there’s Donnie, a regular family man with four kids who considers himself a loser and is a terrible golfer. All in all the cast has all the ingredients, talent and experience for a wild and crazy show. Collins, who has had an enviable ca- reer as a stage, TV and film actor and direc-
game at home against Cumberland on Thursday. They begin playoff action on March 15. greg.kielec@eap.on.ca
The Foursome to hit Upper Canada Playhouse stage
tor, and was last seen at The Playhouse in The Affections of May which he also di- rected along with Norm Foster’s Bedtime Stories. He has starred in theatres in Toronto and across the country, as well as in many tele- vision shows including the seasonal classic The Santa Clause as well as five seasons as the star of CTV’s Katts N Dog. He also re- ceived an Emmy nomination for directing the children’s TV program Zooboomafoo. Bauer is familiar with Playhouse audi- ences as an actor and director and was seen in Not Now, Darling, which he also di- rected, and the holiday play, Dear Santa. Young was also seen last Season in Not Now, Darling as well as such past produc- tions as On Golden Pond and The Odd Couple Female Version. MacArthur, who starred in Mervish Production’s Mama Mia, and has been seen in countless musi- cals and plays in the Toronto theatre scene, returns after several seasons where he was seen in such shows as Perfect Wedding and Looking. Often described as a hole-in-one comedy and a laughfest that’s filled with superb one-liners, The Foursome promises to be just the tonic audiences need to chase away the winter blues. The Playhouse onstage golf course is groomed and the four hilarious guys are ready to go. But the audience will be the big winner when this hilarious season opener hits the stage.

J OURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DE LA FEMME / I NTERNATIONAL W OMEN ’ S D AY Hommage à ces femmes qui nous entourent ! A Tribute to the women around us ! • March 8 mars 2012 •
Elaine MacDonald , councillor/conseillère,
Our goal is to bridge the gap between the executive and the soccer mom. We want women from all walks of life who are looking to make new connexions on a personal or professional level- after all, we all have one big thing in common. We’re women.” -Karine Parthenais, Founder and Connexionista
is proud to celebrate the power of women. Célébrons la puissance des femmes.
Petite histoire d’une grande journée Le 8 mars est une journée porteuse de sens à travers le monde. En effet, c’est la date de la Journée internationale de la femme. Celle-ci commémore les années de luttes que les femmes ont dû mener afin de faire reconnaître leur droit de vote, leur droit à de meilleures conditions de travail et de vie. On tient bien souvent pour acquis ce que des milliers de femmes des époques passées ne pouvaient qu’imaginer dans leurs rêves les plus fous. La première mention d’une Journée internationale consacrée à la femme a été rapportée en 1910, lors de la 2e Conférence internationale des femmes socialistes, par une certaine Clara Zetkin, représentante du parti socialiste d’Allemagne. Cette dernière est maintenant une figure de proue du long combat de la femme au cours de l’histoire. Dès 1911, des manifestations ont été organisées dans plusieurs pays européens. C’est en 1917, lors d’une grève des ouvrières à St-Petersburg, que la tradition du 8 mars a
Mme Carole Bruyère enseigne maintenant depuis 1979. Après une carrière remarquable en éducation, elle prend sa retraite cette année. Mme Carole Bruyère est, je suis convaincu, aussi passionnée qu’à ses débuts de carrière. Elle est une collègue, une enseignante et une personne hors pair. Elle a un grand cœur et le sens inné du travail d’équipe. Elle va nous manquer et qui sait; peut- être nous reviendra t-elle en tant que suppléante!
The Cornwall & District Labour Council celebrates the women of the labour movement and the solidarity all workers share in working for an equable and just society. Le Conseil du travail de Cornwall et la région rend hommage aux femmes du mouvement ouvrier et à la solidarité dont les travailleurs partagent pour une société juste et équitable.
réellement pris racine. À partir de ce moment, cette Journée est devenue synonyme de la lutte des femmes pour améliorer leur condition. C’est devenu une tradition dans le monde entier après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, mais ce n’est qu’en 1977 que cette date a été officialisée par les Nations Unies en tant que Journée internationale de la femme.À notre époque, la Journée internationale de la femme revêt maintenant une importance capitale à travers le monde. En effet, dans bien des pays, le statut de la femme est encore inférieur à celui des hommes. La lutte pour les droits n’a donc rien perdu de son importance, quelque 100 années après que Clara Zetkin ait la première appuyé la tenue d’un tel événement annuel. Le 8 mars commémore les années de luttes que les femmes ont dû mener afin de faire reconnaître leur droit de vote, leur droit à de meilleures conditions de travail et de vie. — Strong Women, Strong Canada — Women in Rural, Remote and Northern Communities: Key to Canada’s Economic Prosperity Women across Canada are as diverse as the communities they live in. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day and International Women’s Week celebrates women’s roles in the economic prosperity of rural, remote and Northern regions. Canada covers a total area 9,984,670 square kilometres. It is home to 17.4 million women and girls and contains more than 5,400 communities — approximately 5,200 of which are rural, remote or Northern. During the week of March 8, 2012, we are celebrating the three million Canadian women and girls across every province and territory who are integral to life in these rural, remote and Northern communities. In rural and remote areas, women make up approximately 45% of the labour force, but significant gaps still exist between women and men in labour force participation rates, employment rates and income. These trends are more pronounced for Aboriginal women, who make up a large part of the rural, remote and Northern population. Women and girls are contributing to economic prosperity in these regions through innovative projects such as business networks and training in non-traditional occupations. Leadership initiatives for women and girls in rural and remote areas can also be found across the country.

The lady that first comes to mind is Mrs. Kathleen MacNaughton. She was my grade 8 teacher and principal of our school (St. Bernard’s in Finch, Ontario). She was strict but very fair and impressed upon me how much a woman could actually accomplish, as this was in the ‘70’s. Unfortunately she passed away suddenly in 2009. I still think about her from time to time.
