It was felt that the intial step was to have the Administrators of the five ' hospitals take the course to familiarize themselves with the process. Conestoga College representatives will con; duct the course on a 3 -hour per week basis (each Wednesday morning) for 12 weeks beginning in April 1985. We would then hope to involve other staff in the five area hospitals in a program to start in the fall. We are looking into leasing a computer for the duration of the course in each of the hospitals and a proposal is expected shortly from Conestoga College in this regard. Staff thanks board The nursing staff thanked the hospital board for their generosity in providing Christmas and New Years meals for staff who were required to work over the holidays.

Board to hire affirmative co-ordinator this year BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The Huron County Board of Education will hire a half-time affirmative action co- ordinator for the 1985-86 school year. The school board approved this measure at its March 6 meeting in keeping with a ministry of education program in support of affirmative action for female employees. The ministry will reimburse a school board up to 75 per cent of the cost of employ= ing a co-ordinator to a maximum of $20,000 in tb fuses year and$18;000 Intl* Second. In its decision to hire a co-ordinator at about $28,695 - which will cost the local tax- payers a ost $8,000 -• the school board made a >icy sta`teinent. " • This statement announces the board's in- tention to undertake an affirmative action program for its female employees "to diver- sify their occupational distribution within the system and to eliminate any identified barriers to their employment opportunity". It will be the co-ordinator's job to collect information on employment policies and procedures, receive comments from all employee groups and, by February of next year, file a report with recommendations to the school board and the ministry. Trustee Frank Falconer said he saw no - need to hire -a teacher -for -this- position when it is basically a secretarial job. Director of education Bob Allan said while there are some secretarial duties, the role calls for someone with professional status because besides the data collection there is a need to evaluate the data and make recommendations.
