School boards across the province are increasingly turning to untrained, unqualified teachers to fill in when a professional teacher can’t be found. It’s a practice the unions call a slap in the face to trained teachers. We heard from the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board Communications Manager, Pauline Stevenson about the disparity going on across the board. We also heard from Elementary Unit President for the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, Simcoe Muskoka Unit, Kent Macdonald about why it's so disheartening to current teachers.
Wray Ellis recently discovered a remarkable photo collection of 400 images amongst his late father’s belongings in Peterborough. And a single word in one of the inscriptions led to a profound revelation. We spoke with him about this incredible discovery.
For years we've been hearing about the backlog issues surrounding Ontario's Landlord Tenant Board. In a recent report, Tribunal Watch Ontario says there were 53,000 unresolved cases at the LTB as of March 2023 impacting at least one million Ontarians. Simcoe County council put forward a motion that asks staff to determine the best way to engage the province with the backlog. They hoped that the province would address the hardships being felt locally amongst landlords and renters. We spoke to Wasaga Deputy Mayor Tanya Snell who was the one behind this motion.
