  • The reality is, with school finances the way they are, transportation is going to remain a fixture," he said. "It's naive for someone to go in there and think their kids can walk to school in a block. Education Minister Peter Bjornson has said Pembina Trails' long-standing plea for a new high school in the city's southwest will be answered. Still, the province hasn't said when or where the school will be built. "There's still a large demand for lots," he said. "People will be asking more questions."

  • Happiness is defined by Veenhoven (2008) as "the overall appreciation of one 's life-as-a-whole, in short, how much one likes the life one lives" (p. 2, itaUcs in original). Seligman's (2002) work on authentic happiness focuses on an enduring experience of happiness. Sustainable happiness is relevant to essentially every definition of happiness. As a demonstration, consider the momentary pleasure of drinking a cup of coffee. Benefits of attending to and being mindful of the experience have been discussed by Brown and Kasser (2005) and Kabat-Zinn (2005). Viewed through the lens of sustainable happiness, this momentary pleasure can be placed in a wider context. Individuals can attend to whether that cup of coffee is fair trade coffee, which means that workers in the coffee plantation have...

  • This is a city that is built on transportation and facilitating trade," says Barry Prentice, a professor at the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba. "We've been a gateway to the West, and more so, we've become a gateway to the U.S. after the free-trade agreement. "Historically, our challenge has been we've been isolated from markets," [Dave Angus] says. "But if you look at our catchment area in today's terms, we have a fairly large catchment area from Chicago to Minneapolis to Thunder Bay and into Saskatchewan." "Transportation, manufacturing and trade go hand in hand, and that's the beauty of CentrePort," Angus says. "We will be able to develop our transportation assets based on what manufacturers and organizations are looking for in today's world."

  • After extensive consultation with angry parents who were upset at the potential loss of community schools, the division came back with a plan that will only close a school if its enrolment falls to the point where it triggers the need for a school review. The proposal also states that: maintaining elementary schools in local communities is a division priority; transportation times will continue to be within the present policy - 93 per cent of the riders currently travel less than one hour, with the earliest pick up at 7:30 a.m.; if and when Rossburn Collegiate and Birtle Collegiate are designated for closure, students will be bussed to either Major Pratt School or Shoal Lake depending; when the Hamiota high school is no longer viable, students will be bussed to Shoal Lake School. arran...

  • A provincial study on truancy in Manitoba, commissioned internally by the Education Department earlier this year and released recently to the public, suggested that students skipping school do so in the face of circumstances like a lack of suitable transportation, the responsibility of taking care of young kids or holding down jobs to support either their families or themselves. In severe cases, parents can face jail time. [...] though the division has taken some steps to encourage senior years students with unique life challenges to stay in school - Neelin high school's off-campus program and the in-school day care and early learning program at Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School are two examples - more needs to be done during the child's early years to instill a better sense of ...
