Federal Immigration Dept: The trustees voted to reinstate six staffing positions in a program that helps new immigrants deal with language issues, according to CTV. The school board currently faces a $14-million deficit. The budget will be approved in two weeks and trustees at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board are backing down from a $165,000-cutback in language training. School board chair Cathy Curry fired a letter to the federal immigration minister to make a case for increased funding to support the program. As reported in the news.
