REPORT
Some years ago, a page program was implemented. This program consisted of two gin
guides attending the Council meeting with the Clerk to assist with collection and
distribution of material to the Members of Council.
In an effort to resurrect the program, Bowmanville High School was contacted to
determine if the program might be incorporated as part of the Civics class. This is a
mandatory class for Grade 10 students which teaches the students about democracy,
the election system and the services that are available to citizens federally, provincially
and locally. The teachers were excited about the prospect. Because of the large
number of students enrolled in the class each semester, it has been decided that the
best way to implement the program is for the interested students to complete an
interview. Those students chosen will attend one or two General Purpose and
Administration Meetings to serve as pages. The students will be supplied with copies of
the agenda in advance of the meeting and will have an opportunity to discuss the
meeting with the Clerk prior to and/or following the meeting.
The program will be implemented during the second semester of the school year, which
begins in February 2002. Following the school year, a review of the program will be
undertaken to determine its success.
