Pierre Caron se présente au siège #4, à Limoges
«Être conseiller demande beaucoup de temps. Pour s’occuper adéquatement de la population de Limoges, il faut être présent, se faire voir, être disponible pour suivre de près les dossiers et participer entièrement à l’élaboration des projets, a-t-il tenu à préci- ser. J’ai l’expérience nécessaire et le temps pour comprendre les subtilités de la vie po- litique municipale. Quelqu’un qui travaille à temps plein ne peut assumer à 100% le rôle
de conseiller dans La Nation.» Pendant une vingtaine d’années, M. Ca- ron a évolué comme ingénieur. Cet ancien o!cier des Forces armées canadiennes a également travaillé pendant 23 ans dans le secteur de l’aviation. Il a pris sa retraite il y a deux, après une carrière de 43 ans. Il est engagé au sein de sa communauté. Membre de l’équipe d’évaluation des de- mandes de subventions pour la Fondation Trillium de l’Ontario, il s’investit est membre du comité des "nances de la paroisse St- Viateur et continue de siéger sur le comité des citoyens de Limoges. «Je connais la mécanique municipale à fond et j’ai été de toutes les situations d’ur- gence. J’ai développé avec mon équipe un plan d’urgence en cas de catastrophes pour la municipalité. Je me présente comme conseiller car je considère que Limoges a beaucoup de dé"s à relever mais aussi beaucoup d’opportunités à saisir, a-t-il poursuivi. La population est dynamique et a énormément changé depuis les cinq der- nières années. La population a doublé et le village se trouve maintenant à un tournant au point de vue développement. Il faut sai- sir les opportunités qui se présentent pour attirer des commerces, ce qui manque le plus à Limoges.» Il veut aussi faire la promotion d’un centre communautaire multifonctionnel car, opine-t-il, le centre actuel ne rencontre pas les besoins de la population. Les dépenses municipales sont également une priorité.

Upper Canada schools jumpstart new term
«Mon troisième point se concentre sur la capacité de payer des citoyens de Limoges. Je veux minimiser les dépenses munici- pales a"n de soulager le fardeau "scal du citoyen», a-t-il rajouté. Pierre Caron a!rme que la municipalité de La Nation se prépare à mettre en place un projet de 42 millions$ pour les aque- ducs et les services d’égouts, ce qui en ferait le plus important projet d’infrastructures jamais vu à Limoges. «Il faut une personne disponible et bien informée pour suivre de près l’élaboration de ce projet, a-t-il souli- gné. Les citoyens de Limoges ne méritent rien de moins qu’un conseiller à temps plein qui possède les connaissances nécessaires pour mener à bien les dossiers importants et les enjeux qui se préparent, maintenant, à Limoges.» «Les citoyens de Limoges ne méritent rien de moins qu’un conseiller à temps.»
school term this September has been al- most perfect “with very few distractions” because all of the elementary schools are in line now with their full-time kindergart- en programs while other school districts are still struggling to "nish setting up their FTKs and adjust their budgets to accommodate the "nal year of implementation. The provincial government set a "ve-year deadline for all Ontario school districts to introduce full-time kindergarten programs for their elementary school curriculums. The goal is to provide a headstart on educa- tion for Ontario students and work towards the ultimate goal of a 100 per cent gradua- tion rate. Thomas credited the combined e#orts of UCDSB sta# in all departments for achiev- ing a one-year early-completion goal on FTK for Upper Canada schools. He noted that during the previous term the facilities department was managing at least 200 various projects, ranging from renovations to additions, for district elementary schools to meet the advanced FTK schedule. Custo- dial service and purchasing departments also speeded up their schedules for equip- ping the new kindergarten rooms with fur- nishings and supplies.
BROCKVILLE | Sta# and administration for the Upper Canada school district are congratulating themselves on getting «a jumpstart ahead» of other districts for the 2014-2015 term. Director David K. Thomas of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) expressed satisfaction with the district’s “courageous decision” to forge ahead last term with full implementation of the full- time kindergarten program at all UCDSB elementary schools instead of waiting one more year to "nish the project. “Two years ago, our district trustees and senior leadership determined we would fully implement full-time kindergarten one year ahead of the provincial mandate,” Thomas stated in a press release. “That made for a very di!cult, very tight budget last year because, of course, the provincial money to compress a "ve-year program into four did not come with it. But it was worth it to ensure our new students had a head start in their learning through the quality programming that full-time kinder- garten (FTK) o#ers.” Thomas noted that the start of the new GREGG CHAMBERLAIN GREGG.CHAMBERLAIN@EAP.ON.CA
