DURHAM - Durham's Catho-
lic school board is seeing "tre-
mendous" growth in its French
immersion programs, with al-
most 1,000 more students en-
rolled this year compared with
three years ago.
A new report says the number
of elementary French immer-
sion students jumped from 1,677
for the 2015/2016 school year, to
2,561 this year.
"We're finding at this point,
that about one out of every four
students is choosing a French
immersion program," says Dur-
ham Catholic District School
Board superintendent Tracy Ba-
rill.
With that growth, comes chal-
lenges.
School boards across Ontario
are grappling with a shortage of
qualified French teachers.
Enrolment in French immer-
sion has grown an average of six
per cent a year for 11 consecutive

school boards across Ontario are experiencing hiring qualified French teachers. Whitby's St. Mark the Evangelist school French teacher Suzanne Karwowski
worked on French phrasing with students Nathan Keogan and Nyamiah Thompson.

years, with almost 213,000 stu-
dents in programs in 2015-16, ac-
cording to Ministry of Education
statistics.
A recent report by the FSL La-
bour Market Partnership Com-
mittee - a project led by the Onta-
rio Public School Boards' Associ-
ation and the Ministry of Ad-
vanced Education and Skills
Development - notes two-thirds
of English school boards in Onta-
rio say finding French teachers
has become more of a challenge
in the last three to five years.
Job applications received by
those boards from graduates
qualified to teach French
dropped by 54 per cent over the
last three years from more than
about 8,000 to fewer than 4,000
for 2017/2018.
The DCDSB is working on a
strategy to recruit and retain
French teachers by offering pro-
fessional development opportu-
nities and promoting the board
as an "attractive" place to work.
In the meantime, Barill says
the shortage means the DCDSB
has to be "very strategic" about
maximizing French teacher re-
sources.
That means looking at bound-
ary changes, consolidations or
program relocations in areas
where enrolment is low or de-
clining - one example is St. Leo
Catholic School and St. John
Paul II Catholic School, both in
Brooklin.
On the flip side, some Catho-
lic schools in Durham are
looking at possible overenroll-
ment.
Growth of both the English
and French programs at St. Ka-
teri Tekakwitha Catholic School
in Oshawa is expected to pose
challenges in the coming years -
the board's recent report says
projected enrolment could ex-
ceed 800 students by 2025, requir-
ing 21 portables on site.
Reports will come forward to
trustees in the coming months
about how to tackle French im-
mersion "hot spots" that face
over or underenrolment.
Barill expects interest in
French immersion to stay strong
as parents and students increas-
ingly value bilingualism.
"Being able to communicate
in a variety of languages is an as-
set," she says.
The DCDSB has also moved to
discontinue a kindergarten
French pilot program that has
been offered at St. Christopher
Catholic School in Oshawa since
2014.
French immersion instruc-
tion typically starts in Grade 1,
while core French starts in
Grade 4.
Kindergarten students at St.
Christopher have been receiving
40 minutes per day of French in-
struction.
A board report says there are
no drawbacks to the program,
but that it poses enough chal-
lenges to scrap it as of September
2019.

NEWSONE IN FOUR DURHAM CATHOLIC BOARD
STUDENTS CHOOSING FRENCH IMMERSION
A new Durham Catholic District School School Board report has highlighted some of the major trends the board is
seeing for its French programs, and the challenges school boards across Ontario are experiencing hiring qualified
French teachers. Whitby's St. Mark the Evangelist French students Abigail Kalfic and Burkleigh Sainte-Marie read a
giant French book in class on Nov. 28.

AJAX - The ripple effect
has begun.
Martinrea Automotive
Systems Ajax, which
makes parts for the Osha-
wa General Motors As-
sembly Plant, has an-
nounced it will be closing
its factory in December
2019 affecting its 77 em-
ployees. The facility is at
650 Finley Ave., at Clem-
ents Road.
The Ajax facility as-
sembles several parts for
the Cadillac XTS and the
Chevrolet Impala, such as
suspension modules and
engine cradles.
On Monday, Nov. 26,
GM announced it was clos-
ing the Oshawa Car As-
sembly Plant next Decem-
ber, along with four others
in the United States, as it
moves away from making
cars and moving to SUVs
and crossovers.
About 14,000 jobs at GM
are being affected at the
five sites. There are about
2,500 workers at the Osha-
wa site.
Martinrea has about
15,000 employees in eight
countries.
Rob Wildeboer, execu-
tive chairman of Martin-
rea, said in a published re-
port that the company is
forced to close the Ajax fa-
cility as it only provides
parts to the Oshawa plant.
The 77 employees will be
offered the opportunity to
relocate to other Martin-
rea sites.
Ajax Mayor Steve Par-
ish and Mayor-elect Shaun
Collier said in a statement
to incoming Durham Re-
gional Chairman John
Henry and Oshawa Mayor-
elect Dan Carter, the Mar-
tinrea announcement "is
the first Durham-wide ca-
sualty of the GM an-
nouncement, representing
a 77 job loss in Ajax. This
ripple effect is sure to
touch other Durham mu-
nicipalities as well.
"We must have all
hands on deck from all lev-
els of government in order
to address this serious and
growing problem. My door
is always open to discuss.
Please do not hesitate to
reach out," Parish and Col-
lier added.
Ajax MPP Rod Phillips
said in a statement, "Today
we learned that as a direct
result of the decision made
by GM to suspend opera-
tions at the Oshawa As-
sembly Plant, 77 jobs will
be lost at the Martinrea
Automotive Systems Plant
in Ajax.
"This morning, I spoke
with Mayor Parish, Mayor-
elect Collier about how we
can work together during
this difficult time.
"I also spoke with the
Hon. Todd Smith, minister
of Economic Development,
Job Creation and Trade
and have communicated
with the plant to ensure
they are aware that em-
ployees will receive sup-
port through our Rapid Re-
Employment Training
Services," Phillips added.
"As Member of Provin-
cial Parliament for Ajax,
my thoughts are with the
individuals impacted, and
the families affected by
this decision, and assure
you that our government
will support you," he said.
Collier replied, "Thank
you Minister for reaching
out this morning. These
jobs are important. They
support families. It's been
a hard 48 hours for Dur-
ham. We must work to-
gether to keep good jobs in
Ajax and Durham. We ap-
preciate your support to
assist the individuals im-
pacted."
Nicole Gibson, the exec-
utive director of the Ajax-
Pickering Board of Trade,
said in a statement, "On
the heels of this week's an-
nouncement of the closure
of General Motors assem-
bly line in Oshawa in 2019,
the Ajax-Pickering Board
of Trade is further sad-
dened to hear of the clo-
sure of Martinrea Interna-
tional Inc. in Ajax. The fac-
tory makes parts for GM
and its closure at the end of
2019 will result in the loss
of 77 local jobs.
"This is tremendously
difficult news for our com-
munity, and while it is the
first, it likely will not be
the last ripple effect of the
GM closure to touch Dur-
ham Region," Gibson add-
ed. "We stand with the
businesses and employees
who are impacted. We
stand shoulder to shoulder
with them and our cham-
ber network to call on all
levels of government to
unify and work together to
attract good jobs to our
communities."

DURHAM - A collision
on Hwy. 401 in Pickering
early Sunday morning in-
volved two separate im-
paired drivers.
Police said the crash
happened at about 4 a.m.
on Dec. 2, in the eastbound
collector lanes of Hwy. 401,
west of Whites Road.
The drivers of both vehi-
cles - a 26-year-old Ajax
man and a 73-year-old Ajax
man - are both face im-
paired driving charges and
had their vehicles im-
pounded for seven days.
Police in Durham laid
six impaired driving charg-
es the first week of the an-
nual Festive RIDE pro-
gram, and charged 15 peo-
ple with impaired driving
the second week.

TWO DRUNK
DRIVERS
COLLIDE ON
HIGHWAY IN
PICKERING
PICKERING -One person is dead
and the province's Special Investiga-
tions Unit has been called in to inves-
tigate a serious crash in Pickering
Saturday morning.
The two-vehicle collision hap-
pened at about 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 on
Brock Road near Elsa Storry Avenue.
The SIU says an Ontario Provin-
cial Police officer was conducting
speed enforcement on Hwy. 407 Sat-
urday morning and began to follow a
vehicle traveling east on the highway.
The vehicle exited Hwy. 407 and
began traveling south on Brock Road.
When the OPP officer caught up to
the vehicle, it had been involved in a
collision with a Purolator courier
truck.
The SIU says the driver of the vehi-
cle being followed by the OPP was
pronounced dead at the scene -- no in-
formation about the deceased person
has been released.
The 36-year-old male driver of the
Purolator truck sustained serious in-
juries and was taken to Sunnybrook
Health Sciences Centre where he is in
serious but stable condition.
The SIU is an arm's length agency
that investigates reports involving
police where there has been death, se-
rious injury or allegations of sexual
assault. Six investigators and two fo-
rensic investigators have been as-
signed to the investigation.
The Durham Regional Police Ser-
vice collision investigation unit will
be doing a parallel investigation.A-
nyone with information is asked to
call the SIU at 1-800-787-8529 or
upload video through the SIU web-
site.

OSHAWA - There aren't
many people who can say
they have been a student, a
parent and an employee all
at the same school - never
mind, two schools.
But Bill Houlden can.
Growing up, he attended
Dr. S.J. Phillips P.S. and
O'Neill CVI, and watched as
his daughters moved up
through the same two Osh-
awa schools.
Houlden then spent
years working as a school
custodian at S.J. Phillips,
and is now one of the head
custodians at O'Neill.
"I was an alumni, and
then I was a parent, and
then I was an employee," he
says, describing the schools
as "absolutely amazing
places."
On Nov. 19, the Durham
District School Board rec-
ognized Houlden's strong
connection to the school
communities, honouring
him with the board's Edu-
cational Services Staff
Award.
The annual award rec-
ognizes school staff such as
custodians, clerical work-
ers and educational assis-
tants, who go above and be-
yond.
A large contingent of co-
workers and supporters
showed up to cheer Houl-
den on as he received the
award - he described being
"super humbled" by the
recognition.
Houlden got his start in
custodial work as a way to
be closer to home. Before
that, he was commuting to
Brampton, losing hours of
each day to the drive.
"It's the best thing ever,
it changed my life," he says,
of working in schools. "I get
to deal with so many awe-
some people, inspirational
people, really."
In addition to his regu-
lar custodial work - things
like sweeping, mopping
and keeping the school free
of safety hazards - Houlden
says he tries to contribute
to the school community
however he can.
At S.J. Phillips, that
meant lending his musical
skills as a drummer at
school assemblies and con-
certs, as well as coaching
the track and field shot put
team.
"I tried to do as much as I
could," he says.
O'Neill CVI principal
Peggy Perkins calls Houl-
den "exceptional."
From playing drums
and singing at school
events, to dressing up for
school spirit days, she says
he is an integral part of the
school community.
"The students love him,
the staff love him," she says.
Houlden received a $500
prize as winner of the Edu-
cational Services Staff
Award -- and immediately
donated it back to O'Neill to
help fund a new school
store set to open in Janu-
ary.
"That's just how Bill is,"
Perkins says.
Custodians were the
subject of a DDSB video re-
leased this past spring, that
highlights the impact they
have on students.
In the video, school
board officials describe
custodians as "part of the
heartbeat of our schools,"
and "unsung heroes."
AWARD-WINNING DURHAM CUSTODIAN HAS BEEN
A STUDENT, PARENT AND EMPLOYEE AT HIS SCHOOL
Bill Houlden, one of the head custodians at O'Neill CVI, has been a custodian with the Durham
District School Board for 12 years. On Nov. 19 he was recognized with the DDSB's Educational
Services Staff Award, an annual award that recognizes school staff such as custodians, clerical
staff and educational assistants who go above and beyond.

When caring for members of our most
vulnerable population such as seniors,
we have to be vigilant in ensuring they
are protected from those who would
seek to take advantage. Unfortunately,
not everyone who would do harm is
blatant about it. Some of the most
successful threats come from those
who are masters of disguise and give
the appearance of being there to help.
In the last month, I have banned three
different vendors from the retirement
residence where I work. The first two
were selling items to residents they
themselves purchased from either a
Dollar Store or from Value Village and
then marked up to a ridiculous cost to
the residents. For example, one blouse
was being sold for $25 yet had a ticket in
the pocket from Value Village showing a
cost of $5.
The third vendor was a company
that sells assistive devices such as
walkers and canes. They came into
the building after hours when all of
the management team were gone and
approached residents directly while
they ate dinner in the dining room. Their
pitch was that they were involved in a
program through the government to
provide assistive devices and repairs
to electric wheelchairs at no cost to
the resident. All the resident had to
do was to complete paperwork and
provide information including what they
paid for rent. When the vendor and her
colleague were approached by staff
and asked to leave the building, they
refused indicating they had permission
both from me and the government to
conduct business in the building. They
did not have permission from me.
Ultimately, I had to involve police to
deal with this vendor.
I would like to believe that everyone
is basically good and has only the
best of intentions but, unfortunately,
experience has taught me otherwise. My
impression is that none of the vendors
I have now banned believed they were
doing anything wrong. In their minds,
they were simply running a profitable
business. I don’t believe they saw what
they were doing as “taking advantage”
of our residents and if they did, they put
on a very good performance. However,
regardless of their view of their conduct,
the bottom line is that they were taking
advantage of people who are at a stage
in life where they need more care than
they ever have in their lives.
It is up to each of us to ensure that
we pay attention and that we step in
when we see something happening that
doesn’t seem right. I was able to take
action because members of my staff
paid attention and reported what they
saw. As the holidays approach, please
pay attention to those who need our
care.

While serving in the Second
WorldWar, Charlie Jefferson lost
his left leg in a mine explosion.
When he returned to Canada,
TheWar Amps and its founding
members were there for support.
TheWar Amps was started
in 1918 by FirstWorldWar
amputee veterans to help each
other adapt to their new reality.
Following the SecondWorldWar,
they welcomed veterans like
Jefferson to the Association and
started the KeyTag Service.
In 1975, the Child Amputee
(CHAMP) Program was created to
share knowledge and experience
War Amps

with other amputees.Thanks to
the public’s support of the Key
Tag Service,TheWar Amps vital

on long into its second century.

MORIN, Ella (née Boudreau) Born July 26,
1928 Cap-aux-Meules, Les Îles-de-la-
Madeleine, QC - After a long and vivid life,
Ella Morin (née Boudreau) passed away
peacefully in her sleep at the golden age of
90 on November 29, 2018 in Ajax, Ontario.
She has gone on to meet her ever-loving
husband of 58 years, Jerry Morin, who has
been waiting for her on the other side since
2009. From her simple beginnings on the tiny
of islands of Les Ïles-de-la-Madeleine,
Quebec in the middle of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, Ella ventured to Toronto in 1947
at the age of 19 filled with rumours,
suspicions and wonder. There she met Jerry
and together they raised three boys in
Scarborough, Ontario: twins Marty and
Michael and younger brother Robert. Ella
lived to see all of her sons get married and
she became mother-in-law to Helen, Lise,
Lisa, Maureen and Hilarie. She was the
proud grandmother to seven grandchildren;
Miles, Emerald, Courtney, Kathleen, Jessica,
Max and Bridgette. Ella was a force of nature
and a dedicated caregiver at heart. Her love
extended not only to her family but also to the
babies she cared for from the Children's Aid
Society and, later, as a daycare provider for
dozens of families. Her skill as a baker
earned her the nickname "Grandma Cookie"
from her many grandchildren who also called
her "Grandma Dynamite". Her brand of love
was no-nonsense but her warmth and
kindness knew no bounds. She was full of life
and laughter and brought with her an
amazing array of home remedies from the
island (who knew you could cure a persistent
cough by sleeping on a piece of black
fabric?). Ella was a proud of her Acadian
heritage. She remained sharp and lucid right
up until the end. We will always remember
Ella for her love, her humour and her rock-
solid steadiness in our lives. If you had met
Ella you would have known why we all
thought she would live forever. Rest In
Peace. A memorial service and celebration of
Ella's life is to be held at the ST. FRANCIS DE SALES CATHOLIC CHURCH, located at
1001 Ravenscroft Rd., Ajax, Ontario on
Tuesday, December 11 at 10 am.
Arrangements entrusted to NORTHCUTT ELLIOTT FUNERAL HOME, 53 Division St.
Bowmanville. Online condolences may be left
