"Improving our rural schools
helps create safer and more engag-
ing places for our young people to
learn and grow, said Perth -Wel-
lington MPP John Wilkinson in a
statement. "Every single project
helps to strengthen our rural com-

Hats off, caps on for police in Ontario
The OPP is trading in its trade-
mark wide -brim hats for something
peaked.
The peak cap will be re -introduced
as part of the OPP uniform and will
be worn by all officers serving with
the Ontario Provincial Police.
"The headdress is an important
part
of the OPP uniform and the peak
cap will provicde officers on the
front line with a more durable
hat," said Commissioner Julian
Fantino.
"After completing a thorough
evaluation and analysis of teh hat,
including field testing, the peak
cap was determined to be a cost-
effective and functional alternative
to the wide -brim hat," added Su-
perintendent Mal Chiversthe.

"It is a much needed service in
small rural Ontario and we are
proud to be a part," Seili wrote
