After an impromptu meeting today outside NDSS where I had the opportunity to speak with NDP Education critic Norm Macdonald, I am left with an even stronger sense of duty and responsibility towards our children and communities. I'm so excited to be running in this election and I feel so fortunate to have the support that has poured out to me thus far...
There was a press release today, prepared by a working group from NDSS PAC with regards to their continued efforts on the Facilities Renewal issue. They have uncovered some more info to add to their formal complaint to the Ombudsman and the ensuing investigation. I will add the NDSS PAC's website as another link to this blog for anyone wanting to re-familiarize themselves with this ongoing matter.
My final thought for the day, though is one of awe over how much can be accomplished by people who care. Look at how the Woodlands school community pulled together and how they succeeded in saving their school in the end... and the NDSS school community is refusing to give up in their efforts to do the same thing across town. Each working at odds with one another and still winning, albeit separately.
Imagine now for a minute how much could be accomplished and what a force they would be to reckon with should the NDSS and Woodlands school communities band together and utilize these seemingly endless wills to shape a new beginning for both communities.
I wouldn't want to get in the way of that freight train!
