Teachers Association dismiss Fraser Institute study as invalid
PRSTA president Lorraine Mackley said the Fraser Institute rankings are a short term snapshot that does not reflect true student learning. She urged funding restoration, noting provincial cuts have increased class sizes and strained teaching time while educators assess students daily and through ongoing testing. Peter Cowley defended the study’s role in evaluating performance.

Local club's quilts known worldwide
The Quintessential Quilters Guild has donated hundreds of quilts to organizations worldwide and locally. O'Dwyer and Linette Joseph partnered to open a Haitian orphanage housing nine plus nine children with five staff, nine rooms, and rapid two month build. Quilts bear child names and fund shipping costs, with quilts in Chetwynd RCMP vehicles and Extended Care units, and to families affected by fires and Canadian soldiers overseas.
