Another six weeks and it is Thanksgiving, can you believe. How fast this year has flown by! Have a nice week.

	I agree ................ it has flown by! Our playgrounds in this province will be silent :-) The teachers have been on strike since June because their employer (the government) locked them out :-S figure that one out :-) major barrier in 18 months of negotiations is the fact that the teachers want smaller class sizes and a limit on the number of special needs children in the class. Government wants large class size, and no limit on the special needs. have fun!
