Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of comments, questions as well. As you know, both Tsiigehtchic and Fort McPherson have a fairly new school in each community, but our school in Tsiigehtchic is fairly small for providing nine grades with the new junior kindergarten that’s coming into effect here. We only have four classrooms in our school, and trying to control that many children in different grades, some teachers have to deal with students, like three grades. They’ve got one grade, you know, my hats off to those teachers trying to control the environment. Something needs to be done in the future in the schools such as Tsiigehtchic.
Also with Moose Kerr School in Aklavik. As I mentioned earlier, it is up for retrofit or replacement in 2019, but in the meantime a parking area is really needed. A lot of people are parking right on the public road. It’s just a matter of time until we have a child that runs out at recess and gets hit by one of the vehicles; it’s just a matter of time. It seems like that’s what the department is waiting for, some serious accident to take some action on this. We have some people who are driving off the road, you know, right up on the lawn just to have a safe place to park, but in this day in age it costs maybe $10,000 to $20,000 to resolve this problem. I don’t see why the department is not taking any action on this. It’s been almost a year since I brought this up. It’s time that we take some sort of action and make a safe environment for our children at the schools. Thank you.
