The Huron County school princi
pals will be consulted regarding
their opinions of the Lord’s Prayer
issue, it was decided at last
month’s Huron County Board of
Education (HCBE) meeting. In
consulting with the area principals
the board hopes to receive input
into appropriate alternatives for
opening and closing exercises in
the schools.
There is a desire to have contin
uity established in these exercises.
Thus, the H.C.B.E. education com
mittee has recently received an
chairman.

Caldwell got respectively $66 and
$104 from Concessions 2 & 3, while

people on Concession 4 & 5 for
$271.

information package regarding re
vised regulations for these exercis
es and for religious education as
well.
Although bound by legislation
the board still has a number of
options. Committee
Graeme Craig, made it clear that
the Lord’s Prayer has not been
abolished from schools. The prayer
may still be used, but one religion
cannot be given primacy over
another.
The committee is preparing a
document in which the available
options are being outlined for the
schools and expect to report on it at
this month’s meeting.
Recent changes to the regula
tion, which recognize Canada’s
multicultural and multifaith nature
will affect the board’s decisions.
With the amended regulation it will
be required that all public elemen
tary and secondary schools in the
province open or close each day
with the national anthem.
