New trail parking sites open
Residents and visitors enjoying an after- noon on the Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail now have new places to park their vehicles while they go out for a walk or a bike ride on the trail. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR), which oversees the PR Trail with the active aid of the Prescott-Russell Recrea- tional Trail (PRRT) agency, announced five new parking areas finished through a grant of $8,000 from the National Recreational
the UCPR and links to the Ottawamunicipal cycling network of trails and also Quebec’s cycling trail network through Rigaud.
Drouin Road trail access
Caledonia Road trail access
The NRTmoney went towards developing vehicle parking sites for the PR Trail entry points at Cassburn Road between Vankleek Hill and L’Orignal in Champlain Township, Caledonia Road between L’Orignal and the village of Alfred in Alfred-Plantagenet Township, Station Road in Alfred, Boudreau Road near Cobb’s Lake in the Bourget village area in the city of Clarence-Rockland, and Drouin Road in Hammond in Clarence- Rockland. “The construction of these new parking areas should encourage a greater use of the recreational trail,” said Louise Bissonnette, PRRT project officer, “and, by extension, ensure an increase in physical activity.” The PR Trail spans 72 kilometres through five of the eight member municipalities of
Provincial board and teachers’ union settle
Boudreau Road trail access
The union representing full-time and occa- sional elementary school teachers and the agency representing all school districts in Ontario have reached an accord. The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (EFTO) has ratified the central agreement reached between it and the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA).The central agreement terms deal with class size and other situational issues of concern for teachers and school districts. The agreement required “double majo- rity” approval under the EFTO’s voting pro- cess, whichmeans there needed to be both a clear majority of EFTOmembers and also a clear majority of EFTO locals which agreed to the terms through a province-wide vote. The EFTO ratification process resulted in 86 per cent of members, including both full- time and occasional teachers, agreeing to the terms and 98 per cent of EFTO locals supporting it. The terms of the central agreement call on both the EFTO and the OPSBA and the EducationMinistry to designate representa- tives to develop recommendations for better support of students with special needs. All three parties must also review the full-day kindergarten staffing and class-size situa- tion. There will be a similar review for class sizes of the grades 4 to 8 levels. The central agreement confirms the right of teachers to use their own professional judgment for assessment and evaluation of students’ learning needs. School districts are required to “make every effort” to avoid Full-Day Kindergarten/Grade 1 split class- room situations. Occasional teachers will now have keys to the classrooms to help ensure student and staff safety in school lockdown situa- tions. Also school districts will make sure key recommendations in the September 2014 Health and Safety Task Force report concerning student and staff safety issues are put in effect.
Trails (NRT) program. “We are pleased to announce the com- pletion of this project,” stated Robert Kirby, UCPR warden. “These parking areas will serve to improve the trail users’ experience by offering increased security and conve- nience.”
