October 15 - 21st has been designated by the province of Ontario as Local Government Week and was established to increase youth and public awareness about the role local government plays in our communities.
"As the democratically elected representatives of the Catholic community we not only serve as stewards and advocates for publicly funded Catholic Education but we also are the governing body that is responsible for the overall governance of the board, development of policies as well as many other duties outlined in the Education Act. As a board of trustees, we are responsible to the students and parents of the board to ensure the best Catholic Education is provided to all the children entrusted to us." - Frank Bastone, Chair
Local Government Week is a wonderful opportunity for our local Catholic trustees to promote and celebrate the distinct and crucial service provided by our locally elected Catholic School Board Trustees.
