Project Manager 3 NORTH BOWMANVILU » STUDY AREA FREE CHRISTMAS DINNER - A free Christmas meal with all the trimmings will be served to anybody who wants one on Christmas Day in Newcastle Village. Thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers, the meal will be served between noon and 3:30 p.m. in the Newcastle Community Hall. Everyone is welcome, whether you're unemployed or a millionaire. And the meal is open to seniors, students, single parents, or anyone who might otherwise spend Christmas alone. Children are welcome too. The volunteers do need assistance from anyone willing to bring a dish of vegetables or a salad or dessert. If you can help, call 987-5533 or 987-1296 or 987-4250 or 987-4559. Anyone willing to drive a senior to the dinner should call 987-3027. Since this is a new project, it's difficult to predict how many will be enjoying the festive meal. However, upwards of 300 can be accommodated. So, don't be alone this Christmas. Join the celebration. Any left-over food will be shared with Salvation Army and St. Vincent's Kitchen. The Lions Club, Optimist Club and Newcastle Chamber of Commerce have helped make the meal possible through sharing in the cost of renting the hall. The more than 1,800 administrative administrative staff employed by Ontario's 25 colleges of applied arts and technology technology have voted to form a provincial professional staff association which will be known as the Ontario College Administrative Staff Association (OCASA). The association will provide the group with input regarding working conditions and terms of employment. Administrative employees are hired by the 25 individual colleges and their terms and conditions of employment employment are set by the Ontario Council of Regents, an agency reporting to the Minister of Education and Training, Training, which oversees employee relations relations in the colleges. There were 1,869 ballots distributed distributed with 1,417 returned; 1,287 voted yes (68.9 per cent), 127 voted no (6.8 per cent) and three were spoiled. Of those returned, 90.8 per cent were in favour of the formation of the new association. "This vote is very rewarding for the ASCC because many of us have spent countless hours writing a draft constitution, holding focus group sessions sessions to provide everyone with the opportunity for input. We listened to what they had to say and this vote reflects reflects that," said Dave Wood of St. Clair College, chair of the Administrative Administrative Staff Consultative Committee. CAAT employees are comprised of three groups; academic employees represented by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (CAAT Academic); support staff, represented by OPSEU (CAAT Support); and administrative administrative employees, who are not union members. Administrative employees employees are forbidden by provincial law from union activity, including strikes. Membership in this new professional professional association will be voluntary with a focus on sharing information, establishing professional development development activities and giving administrators administrators an * opportunity for input into terms such as wages and benefits. The vote to form this association was a direct result of the Social Contract. Contract. The Administrative Staff Consultative Consultative Committee (ASCC), a subcommittee subcommittee of the Council of Regents Human Relations Committee, signed a Local Agreement under the Social Contract. That signing set the pattern for the application of the Social Contract Contract in the CAAT system. Under the Social Contract, the provincial government agreed to support support conditions for a vote on the professional professional association before the Contract Contract expires. The ASCC was directed to write a draft constitution by June, 1994, a deadline which was met. The draft constitution was distributed to all administrative staff in the fall prior to the vote. The Council of Regents agreed to grant by April 1, 1996, voluntary recognition recognition to a self-sustaining provincial provincial administrative staff association if a majority of eligible staff voted in favor of it. The work will now begin to formalize plans for the new association. association. Need To KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YoUR NEW COMMUNITY? «. A»».
