Meetings are still happening and questions are still being asked BUT the Ministry of Education still needs to commit the required funds to replace the roof at Bayside THIS summer!
School District 63 has put $1 Million on the table which has considerably reduced the amount needed from the Province! Your PAC is actively working with the school, the District and our MLA, Gary Holman, to get answers and a joint commitment for OUR KIDS!!
Here is Gary Holman bringing up our issue at Question Period again today...
The news coverage is still happening but today, we are not the top story. Check out tonight's news at 10:36 of the broadcast...

Our NEW roof will not stay at the forefront and get the funding approval from the Ministry of Education unless we, as concerned parents of Bayside students, continue to write letters, share examples of what our kids are dealing with and get more signatures of support on our petition! We are getting so close!! Please ask everyone you know to show support for this issue by signing our petition and writing letters to those mentioned below!!
