Ierovf, Kir%s/i/tlll aveniel ,i/ 74Z4/1,4,4, ,fie I recently received a Civic Service Award presented by the Seaforth J h Recreation Committee. 1 gave an acceptance speech at tile BIA Christmas party and 1 would like to share that speech with the community at large: t'm very happy to accept this citizenship award because it comes from a community that alt can admire. It comes from a community that, once again, pulled L together and met the big challenge. Our high school remains open. In looking back over this community's three year struggle to retain our high school one cannot but be proud to be part of our community. In the beginning only a handful of people were involved but in time the community rallied and all involved should be given credit for their efforts. So many people contributed to the success of our'efforts to save Seaforth's High School that I'll probably miss someone in my attempt M thank them all, so for that t apologize in advance to anyone who is missed. Thanks to the School Councils at the High School and Seaforth Public School. Thanks to the Town's Mayor Dave and the council. Thanks to all who attended the community meetings called by the school's supporters. Thanks to all who made presentation to the Board, or who wrote letters, phoned, faxed, emailed or who pitched in otherwise. Thanks to teachers and other school staff who by necessity had to work away quietly in the background but who nonetheless made significant contributions. Thanks to our Accommodation Review Committee who had the courage to offer compromise. Thanks to my family and employees, without whom my efforts would have been impossible. This community has set a wonderful example for our young people. They set that example by standing up for what is right and getting the job done. But the students of this community also set a wonderful example. Whether in school, while marching in protest down Main Street, while making presentations before the Board or in court: the youth of this community conducted themselves with commendable dignity and grace. • In the end all pleas of reason and passion failed and it was necessary to take the Board to court. Five individuals stepped forward and filed a complaint in our court system. To the other four 1 can only offer praise and thanks. In don't think a complaint with only one name on it would have had the same chance at success. This award 1 have been given tonight also belongs to those brave people: Maureen Agar, Carolanne Doig, Alf Ross and Dave Scott. . ■ Thanks is also very much due to the legal team that represented this community in court. I • = may have been the spearhead, but the spear was carefully crafted by Fred Leitch, Cord fa -�1 Lemon and Hugh McDonald, and on an historical day in the spring of this y?ar, Fred hook our spear into court and hurled it straight to the heart of the Target. 1 have been given this award, but feel compelled to ask for more. m 1 want to be -a good and effective School Board liustee. If 1 am to be successful in that endeavour 1 will need the help of this community. It is important that delegations continue to appear before the Board to address a number of issues. it is important that our school councils remain active, so join in. It is important to continue efforts to expand our legal fund, and it is most - important that we all remain vigilant. So 1 thank the community for the Award s, Nile asking the community to sustain its ��1 • torts in support of our schools. it rt_t li BOILERS S CANADA S 4 BOILER 10 Smith o0
