Grants Will Be Discontinued for Vocational Training
Federal funding for technical education grants will end at the close of the current fiscal year. Premier Mackenzie King told a delegation that provincial obligations and heavy federal costs justify not extending the program. Provisions for late-starting provinces to receive some time were noted, with possible follow-up cases. The policy aligns with Canada’s example as education officials consider future support. The text also notes plans for nurse conventions in Winnipeg and a Calgary oratorical victory, with judges including Chief Justice Harvey and others.
