Teachers start rotating strikes

Teachers across the province will begin rotating strikes on Monday as part of stage two of job action. Local teachers will man the picket lines in front of schools on May 28. “Last week, teachers were hopeful when they saw the government and BCPSEA (B.C. Public School Employee’s Association, the bargaining agent for the government) put out an olive branch by backing off the unrealistic 10-year term,” said B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker in a press release. “But the next day, hope that this government would start negotiating in good faith faded when the employer announced a series of threats around wage rollbacks, lockouts and attempt to divide teachers, parents and students.” School District 51 (SD51) issued a press release on their website stating: During a Rotating Strike Day in SD51; schools will be closed, buses will not run and parents are asked to keep their children at home. In the event of increased or changed strike activity, including a full strike, further information will be provided through the school district website, sd51.bc.ca, and on the district Facebook page.Your

There were a number of folks who got into their Sunday best for the Greenwood Museum Old Fashioned Tea, Bake Sale and Raffle last Wednesday, May 14. With young ladies from Greenwood Elementary School serving tea and treats, it was the best deal for $5 in town that week. There were a number of prizes that were raffled off, including a beautiful carving done by museum volunteer Al Wright. The afternoon was a great opportunity for friends and neigh-
bours to reconnect with each other as they sat among the various displays in the museum. There is a core group of about eight volunteers who work hard preparing the museum with fresh exhibits and displays each year. New displays this year are the Modiste Dress Shop and a hotel lobby that you actually walk through. The adjoining bar that has been reproduced from a photograph of the former Algoma Hotel in Deadwood. Sitting at the card table is a mannequin dressed as John Jarrett.
