Deputy fire chief takes city, mayor to court
have to fund his own legal defence be- cause the city is forbidden under the con- flict of interest act from funding his legal representation. City Clerk Helen Finn has refused to release thus far who has paid for Kilger’s representation. Hickley is one of two city employees who filed for whistleblower protection, ac- cording to a statement released by Ottawa lawyer Fay Brunning in early February, who represented another whistleblower, Diane Shay, in her successful cases against the city. “I hope to bring a fair and proper adjudi- cation of these matters by having a quali- fied external investigator or the court con- duct a proper investigation and make the necessary findings of credibility,” Hickley wrote in his statement. The City recently released a statement claiming that one of the whistleblower complaints has been deemed unfounded after an internal investigation. It is not clear to which whistle-blower case the city’s statement refers. Hickley, in opening his statement, wrote that he has filed “with great regret” his ap- plication against the City of Cornwall and Mayor Kilger. His evidence is currently un- der seal at the court, which is being asked to determine what, if any, evidence can be made public. “I am also seeking other relief against re- maining members of city council, seeking protection against retaliation for myself, and for other city employees who have relevant information to provide,” Hickley wrote. “To get to the truth of the whistleblower complaint I filed almost a year ago, protec- tion is needed. “ mance bond attached to the contract. He was told by a city official that the company will be underwriting the new work for 20 years. The aquatic centre, which opened in Sep- tember 2005, houses the Kinsmen Pool, a six-lane 25-meter tank, along with a two- storey waterslide, toddler leisure pool and large whirlpool. City purchasing supervisor Stephen Rand, in a March 11 report, noted the city had budgeted $200,000 for the project this year. He wrote that the planning and parks de- partment wants all the money to be left in the fund until after the project is complete “in order to cover unexpected additional expenses that could arise once the roof deck has been exposed.” Staff is also recommending any addition- al funds be allocation to the demolition of clubhouses at King George Park, Alexander Park and at the Joe St. Denis field near the Bob Turner Area.

The city’s deputy fire chief has filed an application in Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Cornwall seeking a determina- tion of whether the city’s mayor is in con- flict of interest. “I am seeking a determination for the electors of Cornwall, as to whether or not Mayor (Bob) Kilger is in a conflict of inter- est under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act,” wrote Cornwall Fire Department Dep- uty Chief Robert Hickley in a statement re- leased Thursday. An official with the superior court in Cornwall confirmed an application was filed with the court by John Robert Hickley Thursday. She would not release any other information. The Journal is awaiting com- ment from Kilger. Hickley, in a statement sent to various Cornwall media, revealed he is the whis- tleblower who brought the complaint to Cornwall city council almost one year ago – on May 31, 2012. “The court has been given a copy of the whistleblower complaint and evidence, to allow a judge to make a determination as to whether or not there is a conflict of in- terest of Mayor Kilger under MCIA.” The mayor, in two media releases and in a statement at the March 25 meeting of Cornwall city council, denied that he is in conflict of interest, but even still, he will recuse himself from further discussions on the whistleblower cases. Hickley is representing himself in the court application made under the Ontario

City to spend $160,068 to replace roof at aquatic centre GREG KIELEC GREG.KIELEC@EAP.ON.CA
Cornwall’s eight-year-old aquatic centre will be getting a new lid. Amherst Roofing & Sheet Metal in Kings- ton has been chosen to replace the roof at the city pool, a process that will cost the city taxpayers $160,068. The design of the existing roof is causing large amounts of snow and ice build-up and slide onto a flat roof connection the aquatic centre to the Cornwall Civic Complex, ac- cording to a report to city council. The city installed snow stops on the sloped roof last year as a temporary mea- sure to minimize further damage after infra- red thermography revealed ice had punc- tured the roofing membrane. But ultimately it has decided an “inverted-roofing system” needs to be installed to avoid future prob- lems. The total bid from Amherst Roofing &

Race Street fire caused by e-bike charging

The city’s acting fire chief is issuing a word of warning after a fire started by an improperly utilized e-bike battery charger gutted a Race Street home last Tuesday. Richard McCullough said the popular e-bikes and their batteries should not be stored or charged in the home, including a front porch, because of the danger of sparking a fire. “Follow proper procedures not to have it in the front porch of the house,” Mc- Cullough warned other e-bike users who may be putting themselves at risk by charging their bikes in their home. The building’s tenants escaped un- harmed after a “Good Samaritan” alerted the tenants to the fire in the front porch of the small, two-storey home facing the Legion Ballpark, McCullough said. “It started on the front porch and the whole building was involved by the time firefighters arrived,” he said. “The guys did a good job making sure it didn’t spread to other exposures.” But had the firefighters been a few minutes later in

Bill to curb arbitration awards defeated
which includes Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger, issued a press release April 10 lending its weight to the bill that would tailor arbitration awards for essential services like police and fire on a municipality’s ability to pay. But the Liberals and New Democrats teamed up to vote down the bill one day later on Thursday, according to Jim McDonell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, who along with his Progressive Conservative col-
leagues voted in favour of the legislation. The mayors’ committee, which on April 4 endorsed Bill 44, Public Sector Capacity to Pay Act 2013, issued a press release the day before the failed vote Thursday at Queen’s Park lend- ing its support to the proposed legislation in- troduced by PC MPP Jim Wilson on March 28. According to a release from McDonell, “the Act would have enacted significant reforms to the current arbitration system and answered demands being made by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.” The Act would have enshrined capacity to pay as a principle for arbitrated settlements, which would have to take into account local economic factors such as the evolution of the tax base and local unemployment statistics, he wrote. Councillors in Cornwall and small cities across the province have complained that the arbitration system, which often bases its deci- sion on awards made to emergency services in large cities like Toronto, put an increased burden on smaller municipalities which have less tax revenue. Recent provincial arbitration awards such the 27 per cent increase given to firefighters in Scugog, the 20 per cent increase handed out to Stratford’s full-time firefighters and dispatchers, and the 11.7 per cent increase awarded to police in Windsor make it clear that the current arbitration system is unsus- tainable, according to the mayor’s committee. Both Wilson and Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark attended the April 4 special meeting of the EOMC to give a presentation on Bill 44, which introduces Ministry of Labour over- sight to arbitration, requires that arbitrators provide full written reasons for their deci- sions, and establishes criteria that tie arbitra- tion awards to the “capacity to pay” of local municipalities. The mayors’ committee chair Brett Todd had encouraged the governing Liberal party “to take a serious look” at the bill and work with the other parties and the municipalities of Ontario “to move this issue forward and embrace real, meaningful reform with arbitra- tion.” He said the bill was “pretty much exactly what the EOMC was looking for in terms of interest arbitration reform that addresses the broken current system that has put our tax- payers on the hook for wildly escalating pub- lic sector salaries.”

The e x citement around a Quilt of Belonging e x hibit is about to e x plode with the un- veiling of a new documentary chronicling the historic making of the Quilt of Belong- ing and a“first of its kind”Youth Quilt Proj- ect created by close to 800 students from eastern Ontario and Akwesasne. Visitors are in for a special weekend from Friday to Sunday at the Nav Centre along the St. Lawrence River on Montreal Road at the eastern edge of Cornwall, according to organizers. The 120-foot long Quilt of Belonging, which includes works from every world na- tion and all Canada’s First Peoples, will be displayed along with the huge youth quilt. The youth display consists of stunning artis- tic blocks created by students from kinder- garten through high school, a testament to the creativity of Canada’s youth. The Quilt has long been included in school textbooks throughout Canada and educators have found it an effective tool for reaching youth. The pilot project will provide effective programming tools for educators nationally and internationally to teach much-needed core values—caring, responsibility, diversity and respect, orga- nizers say. The 48 minute documentary, which will be shown hourly throughout the exhibition dates, features heartwarming interviews with participants from a wide range of cul- tures. Esther Bryan, the originator of the project, chronicles the inspiration and early years of making this mammoth work of art, while photos and footage celebrate the gener- ous spirit of the volunteers who made the dream a reality. The Quilt of Belonging has impacted mil- lions in its 15-year journey, and along with the new documentary and school program will continue to reach out to the world, sharing the important message, A Place for All!, organizers proclaim. The outreach projects were funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and made pos- sible through partnerships with the Upper Canada District School Board, the Akwe- sasne Mohawk Board of Education, The Na- tive North American Travelling College and Heart of the City, and further supported by Service Ontario. The documentary was produced by Key- hart Productions in collaboration with Quilt of Belonging . The public exhibition will be Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 pm. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5: p.m. For more information, visit www.quiltofbelong- ing.ca .

It was yet another suspenseful come- from behind win for the Colts, who fell be- hind 1-0 on a goal by Luke Martin from Elias Ghantous and Tyson Stewart just 7:11 into the game. Alexandre Gendron tied the game for the Colts on a set up from Marly Quince and Michael Pontarelli with just 2:27 left in the first frame in which the Colts were outshot 16 to 9. The game remained tied 1-1 until the middle of the third period when Billy Ulrick atoned for a high-sticking minor late in the second period when he tipped in a shot by Mitch Zion.

The Cornwall Colts have taken the first game of their CCHL final against the Ne- pean Raiders. The Colts, who had home ice advantage, were forced to start the series on the road because the Ed Lumley Arena was hosting the Spring Home and Leisure Show. But the scheduling blip didn’t seem to af- fect them, as they kicked off the game with three unanswered goals to defeat the Raid- ers 3-2 thanks to another yeoman like per- formance by Jordan Piccolino who turned aside 43 of 45 shots directed his way. Alexandre Gendron had a breakout game for the Colts with two goals, including the game winner. Andrew Ming had the other Colts’ marker. Marly Quince also had a two- point game with two assists. The Colts headed home for two con- secutive games against the Raiders, who knocked off league favourite Ottawa Jr. Senators last Wednesday to earn their berth in the final. The Colts were home Tuesday (check www.editionap.ca for results) and will be back at the Ed Lumley Arena Thurs- day as they regain their home ice advan- tage.

Students dazzle judges with science
The Ontario Labour Relations Board has ruled that the withdrawal of e x tra-curricu- lar activities by English elementary school teachers upset with new provincial legisla- tion constituted an illegal strike. “The withdrawal in combination or in concert of participation in voluntary co- instructional (or extracurricular) activities as listed in Appendix A and B in paragraph 27 of this decision constitutes a “strike” within the meaning of the Education Act ,” read the deci- sion posted by the OLRB. The decision is the result of a complaint by the Upper Canada District School Board and the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. The boards argued the withdrawal of ser- vices by elementary teachers upset with the provincial government’s Bill 115 was illegal. While the UCDSB highlighted the board’s ruling on that withdrawal of services by teachers constituted an illegal strike, mem- bers of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario including its president -- took to Twitter to trumpet a section of the ruling re- asserting that extra-curricular activities by teachers are in fact voluntary. “OLRB confirms what we have said from day one – individual ETFO members make their own decisions and have the right and freedom to do so,”wrote ETFO President Sam Hammond on Twitter shortly after the deci- sion was released. One of a number of embittered teachers taking to social media to vent about the de- cision, wrote “the OLRB’s decision has made me seriously consider not participating in additional duties for the rest of my career.” The UCDSB lauded the decision which states “the voluntary withdrawal of volun- tary co-instructional or extracurricular activi- ties constitutes a ‘strike’ within the meaning of the Education Act.” Both school boards “troubled by the in- creasingly hostile pressure placed on ele- mentary teachers by representatives of ETFO to continue to withdraw services and their participation in a number of activities,”filed a complaint with the labour board in January. “The application focused on how recent ac- tions by ETFO interfered with the normal activi- ties of a school board, its schools, and school programs,”reads a statement from the board. David Thomas, UCDSB director of educa- tion, said the ruling “brings clarity for teach- ers and principals” that teachers are per- mitted to “freely choose” to participate in co-curricular or extracurricular activities. “This precedent-setting decision confirms that when a union is in an illegal strike po- sition, counseling to boycott activities is not permissible.” Teacher action illegal strike, OLRB rules GREG KIELEC GREG.KIELEC@EAP.ON.CA

Len Peddle, a 15-year- Forty-eight participants from 11 area schools put their wits to the test to wow the judges at the 38th annual United Counties Science Fair on Saturday. The day-long exhibition, during which ex- hibitors were quizzed by a number of judg- es about their scientific displays, wrapped up with an awards ceremony in the St. Law- rence High School cafetorium late Saturday afternoon. Chairman Jason Marshall, in announcing the awards ceremony, said the annual event creates “life experiences that will never be forgotten” by participating students. He also challenged participants to re- member that even if they did not win award, they did not lose. It just meant that some other projects were “slightly better” than their projects. A 15-year-judge, Les Peddle, took a mo- ment to speak to The Journal after a lengthy discussion with Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School student Kiran Hashmi about her project on a cheap, environmen- tally friendly way to clean silver. “What always amazes me is the creativ- ity of these students,” Peddle said, standing near a row of displays detailing everything from the viscosity of liquids to the use of in- novative building materials. The projects were judged on the ex- perimentation techniques used by stu- dents, as well the students’ ability to vo- calize their knowledge of their subject to demonstrate they have a true grasp of the goals and end results of their experi- ments, he said. “It’s the verbal part that puts it all togeth- er,” he said. “I’ve seen some interesting proj- ects over the years.” His only lament is fewer students are

participating in the annual science fair, a trend which has been seen right across the country. Hashmi’s project evolved out of a con- versation with her mother about silver jew- elry which she was no longer wearing. Her mother told her she didn’t wear it anymore because the silver was tarnished. “I said I wanted to clean that silver,” Hash- mi told The Journal. The end result of her experimentation was a cost-efficient way of cleaning silver by
simply using a three-volt battery connected to two wires and a pan filled with a solution of water, salt and baking soda. The system allows its user to clean silver much more cheaply and safely than com- mercial silver polishers which can contain harmful chemicals why can cause hypos- mia, a loss of the sense of smell. “I think it (the commercial cleaner) has ad- vantages, but I think it has more disadvan- tages,” Hashmi said. “This is a cheaper way as well.

McDonell said the current system “is not fair and is putting important services at risk – like fire trucks, police cruisers and health care services.” “Under the current broken arbitration sys- tem, decisions are taking years to be reached and forcing increasingly unaffordable settle- ments for municipal government workers on taxpayers. And all because the arbitrators who manage this system think local govern- ments can just keep raising taxes to pay for them.” McDonell said the Act had the support of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and numerous municipal councils, including Cornwall. “Yet the last time the PCs tried to pass a law making the changes they need, it was voted down by the Liberals and NDP.”

Cette précaution protège tout le monde, car avec l’avènement d’Internet et la rapidité croissante des échanges, il importe encore plus de s’assurer de l’identité des personnes avec qui on fait affaire. Les notaires sont les professionnels tout indiqués en matière d’identi fi cation, et leur expertise prévient les erreurs dans ce nouvel univers branché. L’attention portée au moindre détail et les nombreux contrôles auxquels le notaire vous soumet vous assurent des échanges de qualité et fi ables ainsi qu’une tranquillité d’esprit. De plus, il est rassurant de savoir que l’origi- nal de tout acte notarié est conservé à l’étude du notaire. Ainsi, en cas de besoin, il sera facile de mettre la main sur celui-ci. Donc, avant de prendre une décision importante ou de signer un document, n’hésitez pas à consulter un notaire. L’acte notarié offre le plus haut degré de sécurité juridique qui soit. C’est un document des plus précieux, vous en conviendrez! Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements ou trouver un notaire, visitez le site de la Chambre des notaires du Québec, au www.cdnq.org.

de bataille et qui constitue pour eux, aujourd’hui, un vrai traumatisme. Un traumatisme qui pousse certains parmi eux au suicide. Afin de préve- nir cette pratique, M.Labbé a mis en place «Friends of Vets». Son but était de briser le silence face aux atrocités des guerres, tel que vécues par les combat- tants; lesquels bénéficient d’une aide psychologique auprès de l’association qui se félicite de son bilan d’un an d’existence. «En une année, on a ouvert un compte à la banque, doté de l’organisme d’un logo, réalisé un documentaire et tenu deux soupers-bénéfices», laisse enten- dre Denis Labbé. Le souper organisé la semaine dernière pour compléter le financement du film «Brisons le silence» a permis de recueillir 1000$ et de donner l’occasion à Leonard Hart, 93 ans, un vétéran de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, de venir partager avec les 70 invités, son choc post-traumatique.

L’association Amis des anciens combat- tants a organisé, le samedi 6 avril, un souper à l’édifice de l’escadre de l’Aviation royale de Cornwall. Elle entendait réunir des fonds pour le financement de son film intitulé «Brisons le silence» qui se veut un coup de projecteur sur le phénomène du choc post-traumatique chez les soldats. Le documentaire de 70 minutes qui sera projeté à la fin du mois de mai est décrit par Denis Labbé, président de l’association des Amis des anciens combattants, comme une série de témoignages bouleversants qu’il ne conseillerait pas à un enfant de 14 ans de voir, ni d’entendre. Les vétérans de la Deuxième Guerre mon- diale, les anciens soldats et les réservistes se sont succédé devant les objectifs des caméras pour décrire, avec leurs propres mots, ce qu’ils avaient vécu sur les champs

sée vers l’acrylique, Rose Desnoyers dira que la découverte d’une peinture qui a la même consistance et la même fluidité que l’aquarelle explique en partie son choix.
Le public était nombreux à avoir pris d’assaut le couloir du Centre culturel de Cornwall, le vendredi 5 avril, pour ap- précier les premiers coups de pinceau de l’artiste peintre Rose Desnoyers dans l’univers coloré de l’acrylique. «Ça donne le goût du printemps après l’hiver. Les couleurs sont vives, c’est la vie, l’espoir», admire Vincent Scott, qui était venu avec son épouse Jeanne négocier au- près de l’artiste, la fabrication de tableaux spéciaux pour leur cadre de vie. Roger Levac trouve que l’intérêt du vernis- sage réside en ce que Rozika expérimente une technique qu’elle découvre en même temps que les visiteurs. C’est lumineux et très beau, nous fera t-il comprendre. Même réaction du côté de Vivianne Pan- izzon qui souligne l’agencement des cou- leurs, la présence de symboles et le naturel qui caractérisent, selon elle, les œuvres. «Je suis époustouflée devant cette explosion de couleurs!», s’exclame Valery Manseau, ancienne élève de la peintre. «C’est un véritable art, enchaîne Patricia Fish. Elle s’est spécialisée dans la peinture à l’huile et l’aquarelle et fait du réalisme. Dans ce cas, c’est totalement différent et ab- strait avec l’acrylique et elle utilise le souffle pour reproduire quelque chose d’épatant», ajoute la fondatrice du Corrid’Art, les yeux rivés sur le tableau Dans le vent.

Les parents portent toute leur attention sur la santé des enfants et oublient la leur. C’est ce qu'a laissé entendre Lisa Laflamme, coordonnatrice des ressources à la collec- tivité et communauté du CPE-SDG. Il fallait bien quelqu’un pour mettre la puce sani- taire à l’oreille des grands, et c’est le Centre de la petite enfance qui s’en est chargé au travers de la foire. Sur des stands installés par une vingtaine d’organismes communautaires œuvrant tous dans le domaine de la santé, les visit- eurs ont eu droit à des renseignements sur les maladies du cœur, les problèmes de san- té mentale, les soins à domicile, les maisons de retraite, le recours à des moyens naturels et écologiques et autres. Les conseils sur l’estime de soi étaient prodigués par des esthéticiennes invitées à cette quatrième foire de la santé du Centre de la petite enfance de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry. Pour la promotion de la saine alimentation, le CPE a initié un concours de la meilleure soupe qui l’a opposé au Centre communautaire de l’Estrie, à l’Équipe psy- cho-sociale et au Baxtrom’s Independent grocery, concours d’où il est sorti vainqueur.

Assemblée générale annuelle CHOD-FM, la radio de proximité qui voit loin gŏđŏ editionap.ca
Au cours de l’assemblée générale placée sous le signe du 20e anniversaire de la radio CHOD-FM, a été aussi félicité pour son ac- tion, Raymond Lacroix, ancien président du Conseil d’administration, conseil qui a ac- cueilli un nouveau membre en la personne de Sylvain Sarrazin.
communautaire datant du 31 août 2012. Le document révélait un solde de 38 749$ et a été approuvé par la majorité. Dans son rapport annuel, Janie Renée Myner, secrétaire du CA, a évoqué la néces- sité de se conformer à la Loi sur les corpora- tions qui sera en vigueur en 2014. Il faudrait alors, à l’en croire, opérer de grands changements au sein de l’entreprise et ce, surtout au chapitre des états finan- ciers, réviser les statuts et les règlements, élaborer un plan stratégique… autant de chantiers qui pourraient exiger la tenue d’une assemblée extraordinaire. Quant à Gérald Samson, dressant le bi- lan de son passage à la tête du conseil d’administration, il a fait valoir, entre autres, l'importance d’une assurance qui couvre CHOD FM, ses équipements, le studio, la tour et les membres du CA en cas de pour- suites judiciaires. Il a parlé aussi de son rôle dans l’octroi, par la Fondation Trillium, d’une subvention de plus de 120 000$ grâce à laquelle ‘’nous avons un des studios de radio les mieux nantis de toutes les radios communautaires de l’Ontario", s’est-il réjouit. Marc Charbonneau, directeur général de la station, a été félicité pour ses initiatives jugées excellentes. Il a fait le point sur ses démarches de porter encore plus loin la voix de la communauté francophone à trav- ers l’antenne qu’il dirige. Sa cible : l’est de l’Ontario et l’ouest du Québec auxquels il réserve une couverture intégrale.
M. Charbonneau n’a pas manqué de présenter son nouveau plan de diversifica- tion des sources de revenus de la radio et le programme de formation qui a déjà permis, a-t-il indiqué, de découvrir de nouveaux talents comme Serge Lafontaine et Jacob Dubois.

La radio communautaire de Cornwall- Al- exandria Inc. a tenu le 10 avril son assem- blée générale annuelle au Centre culturel de Cornwall. Les participants ont eu droit aux rapports des différents administra- teurs et se sont prononcés sur les états fi- nanciers de la station francophone et son avenir dans la communauté et le paysage médiatique de la région. Marc Bissonnette, en sa qualité de prési- dent en exercice du conseil d’administration de CHOD FM a, dans son mot de bienvenue, remercié la population de s’être déplacée nombreuse à cette rencontre dont la mo- dératrice était Bernadette Clément. Il l’a félicitée d'avoir dirigé de grandes joutes oratoires sur la scène politique, tout comme il a rendu un hommage par- ticulier à Georgette Sauvé, présidente de l’Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario de SDG, et à Gérald Samson qui avait présidé aux destinées du Conseil d’administration de la radio. M. Bissonnette, présenté comme un grand bénévole, a expliqué les conditions dans lesquelles il s’est retrouvé à la tête du CA et a fait partager à l’assistance sa "belle expérience" de touche-à-tout de la station. Denise Thériault, trésorière sortante du conseil d’administration, a remis aux par- ticipants les états financiers de la radio

Il a montré un doigt accusateur vers les réformes intervenues aux chapitres des congés maladies et des journées péda- gogiques qui, rapporte-il, deviendront des journées sans paye. Une mesure qui touch- era les directions et les directions adjointes, ce qui fera perdre 1,5% des salaires, regrette M. Lavigne.
compte que le gouvernement a affecté à l’éducation presque le même montant que l’année dernière : un milliard de dollars. Le surintendant des affaires désigné dé- plore cet état de choses et réalise qu’il n’y a pas non plus d’annonce d’augmentation de salaires; ce qui correspond selon lui à une situation de gel salarial.
2007. Cette performance rapproche le Con- seil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien de son objectif d’accueillir 11 000 élèves. M. Turpin a indiqué, par ailleurs, que la baisse observée au niveau de l’élémentaire a fait place à une légère augmentation depuis les trois dernières années. Il a aussi mentionné un bon taux de rétention avec 97% des élèves qui restent au 31 octobre. Le surintendant de l’éducation a cepen- dant relevé qu’au secondaire, on assiste à une diminution de l’effectif dont l’impact devrait commencer à s’estomper. Il a égale- ment évoqué une augmentation de la part de marché dans certaines classes de la ma- ternelle avec des chiffres qui passent de 7,6 à 8,8%. François Turpin souligne que le conseil public affiche aussi de bons résultats et conclut que les deux conseils francophones ont connu une augmentation de leur effec- tif scolaire.

L’effectif des élèves du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien a connu une augmentation. C’est ce qui res- sort de la réunion plénière du CSDCEO qui s’est déroulée le 9 avril à Cornwall, sous la présidence de Céline Cadieux, directrice de l’éducation, et de Jonathan De Serres, vice-président de l’institution. Fidèle à sa politique d’analyser de façon régulière ses indicateurs de rendement, le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien s’est penché sur son cadre d’imputabilité et a noté la présence de nou- velles données. Selon le rapport SET-04-2013 présenté à la séance par le surintendant de l’éducation François Turpin, la part de marché de l’institution, qui était de 32,6% (10 000 élèves) est remontée à 33%, soit un total de 10 363 apprenants. Pour l’exposant, il s’agit du meilleur chiffre enregistré par les écoles du CSDCEO depuis FRÉDÉRIC HOUNTONDJI FREDERIC.HOUNTONDJI@EAP.ON.CA
