Question 10
Do you support or oppose the impending teachers' strike? Please explain your reasoning.
Ward 1
3 To Be Elected
Kathy Charchun: No response.
Carla Gimber: No response.
Greg Graves: I have found it very difficult to find all the information concerning the Strike. Having Two kids in school and one graduating this year I feel it is a disservice to the students. I believe the Government has the means to provide excellent education, and the Teachers are to lead that charge, but I am not clear what the role of the Union is in advocating for Education as a whole as they represent the Teachers. Many questions not many clear answers.
