Parent Council Issues Report On Education Every school in Ontario should have a parent council, and this must be enforced by changes to the Education Education Act, recommends a report sent by the Ontario Parent Council to Associate Associate Minister of Education and Training Mike Faman. In February 1994, Mr. Faman asked the Ontario Parent Council to look at how local parent councils could be established to make sure all Ontario parents have equal access to the education system. In response to Mr. Faman's request, request, the Council looked at models of parental involvement in education in other provinces and countries and surveyed a wide cross-section of Ontario Ontario parents to hear their view on parental parental involvement. As a result of this research, the report released today presents a model for establishing school parent councils in Ontario. The model addresses such issues as representation, scope of activities, responsibilities responsibilities and legislated authority authority "We are very excited about this report," said Council Chair Jacqueline Jacqueline Latter. "It points the way to new directions that will have a very positive positive effect on our education system. Parents have a right to be involved when decisions are made about their chidren's education. They also have a lot to offer and can make significant contributions." "This report will be looked at with great interest," said Mr. Faman "I know how crucial it is that parents become more involved in their children's children's education, and I welcome any ideas that will increase parental involvement. involvement. We will look at this report report in the context of the report of the Royal Commission, which is due in December 1994." The Ontario Parent Council was established on September 7, 1993, by Education and Training Minister Dave Cooke.

"New constmction bounced back in the spring, strengthened by the lower interest rates early in the year, good sales on the existing market, more full-time jobs and better consumer consumer confidence. There was also some catch up from the winter delays due to the extreme cold," said Gilles Proulx, Chief Economist at CHMC's Market Analysis Centre. "This performance will be hard to repeat, however, as some of the positive positive forces are losing steam. Interest rates rose substantially during the second quarter, and existing home sales and consumer confidence have started to weaken as a result. On the other hand, employment gains seem poised to keep their recent momentum," momentum," explained Proulx. The gain in starts was due to single-detached single-detached dwellings. The multiple unit sector posted a large drop as a result of lower construction in British Columbia. Regionally, new construction construction was up in Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic while it fell in Brit-' ish Columbia and the Prairie region.

The province province posted wide spread gains in both urban centres and other areas, for single-detached single-detached as well as multiple units. This is against a background of strong sales of existing homes in most large urban centres with a rebound rebound in employment and consumer confidence. Quebec starts continued to im prove as starts rose 24.4 percent to 44,400 units SAAR (35,700). Most of the advance took place in large centres, in line with strong existing home sales in the larger centres of Montreal, Quebec City and Trois- Rivières. The province has also shown one of the best employment recoveries earlier this year but confi-i dence is inching down. British Columbia starts fell 12.9 percent to 37,200 units SAAR (42,700) mostly as a result of unusually unusually low levels of condominium starts. Activity bounced back at the end of the quarter and should continue continue to benefit from stable and high confidence and good employment gains, although the resale market appears appears to have reached a plateau. In the Prairie region, starts inched down 2.1 percent to a rate of 23,600 units SAAR (24,100), as weaker Alberta Alberta construction cancelled some gains in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, in line with resale activity.
