Parksville Qualicum Retired
Teachers
In view of the pending
closure of 4 Elementary Schools in school district 69 a special committee is
necessary to assist in the preservation of educational heritage items from these
facilities.
Our School Board is being approached: to create a policy
for educational heritage preservation (as recommended by Margaret Sutton,
British Columbia Retired Teachers’ Heritage Committee), and to
possibly provide a vacant room at one of the remaining open schools to
display the heritage material (as has been accomplished in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith
District).
Thank you for considering to volunteer in this worthy
cause, as a recent quote from “Mr. Qualicum”, Art Skipsey, says …”The history of this land is short and
rich and we need to let people know about it.”
If you are interested in joining a
local committee to preserve local educational heritage send a message to our Heritage
Chairperson, Sharon Cox Gustafson at sharoncg@shaw.ca.
Let’s pull together, get involved and make this all
become a reality. Thank you for
your support.
