Hello everyone interested in Milton area schools.
Just back from the AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) conference where all the councillors, Mayor, Regional Chair and Donna Danielli the trustee for the area north of Derry met with both the Minister of Infrastructure and deputy minister of Education and highlighted our concerns over the delays in new schools and the need for a more proactive approach. The minister's indicated they understood the concerns and may have some good news soon. Will be posting more information in the general forum soon.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to update everyone on the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference which ended yesterday. I think the conference was good in that our Halton regional chair, Chair Carr, Mayor Krantz, Donna Danielli one of our school trustees, as well myself and other councillors emphasized our school shortage when we met with the Deputy Minister George Zegarac. I think the meeting went well, and I think it was very important that we explained it to them in person, and emphasize the severity and inconvenience of the situation to parents and children. The Deputy Minister said the province may have good news for us soon in the way of new school construction, which I am hoping we get this year. I will keep working with other stakeholders including our school trustees, councillors and parents while stressing the urgency to the province to address this issue until it is resolved (as I mentioned hopefully this year).
Thank You,
Tony

Other than using extra words, what additional information did we get from Tony's post? He could have saved himself time and just said "Read Colin's note" or "What he said!"
