Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTICE TO RATEPAYERS The Lake Superior Board of Education is responsible for levying and collecting taxes, in five dis- tinct areas: Manitouwadge, Marathon, Terrace Bay, Schreiber and the Lake Superior Locality (area surrounding the Townships). In May the Board determined the taxes required to support their 4987 budget. Using the Ministry of Education's formula the tax requirement was calculated for the five areas mentioned above. Subsequently, the Township of Manitouwadge applied for a Board of Arbitration as per Section 213(5) of the Education Act to review the tax allocation. The Township argued the tax allocation created an undue burden on the Ratepayers of Manitouwadge. The Board of Arbitration consisted of the Clerk Treasurer's of the Townships of Manitouwadge, Marathon, Terrace Bay and Schreiber. The Lake Superior Locality had previously been divided into four areas according to Regulation 619. Each of the four Townships represented the area of the locality adjacent to it. (i.e. Schreiber represented Rossport and Manitouwadge represented Hemlo) The Arbitrators approached the task of dividing the School Board's tax requirement from the basis of equity and fairness for the residential Ratepayers, thus making the taxes on a home comparable in each part of the Board. The Arbitrators felt they could not attain this objective in one year, how- ever, in 1987 they made a concerted effort to move toward that objective. . The result of the arbitration was subsequently upheld by the Councils of the four communities. No- Township appealed the decision. In essence the process of arbitration had the following effect: Original Arbitrated Increase LOCALITY 1,094,894 1,502,568 407,674 MANITOUWADGE 1,167,940 835,524 (332,416) MARATHON 1,557,234 1,387,664 (169,570) TERRACE BAY 1,678,807 1,700,999 22,192 SCHREIBER 205,463 __ 277.583 72.120 5,704,338 5,704,338 0 Should you have any questions on the process, please contact Bruce Rousseau at the Board Office.

Some courses offered along North Shore Most of the individual courses offered at the main campus of Confederation College in Thunder Bay can also be offered in our communities here on the North Shore through Continuing Education. These are post-secondary cred- it courses which can be used toward certificates and diplomas offered by the college upon suc- cessful program completion. At times though the specific needs of a group of people are not met within the menu of credit courses which are available. Potential students may wish to study a personal-interest topic: art appreciation, photography, or. sewing for instance. The student may wish to study a subject which can contribute to the quality of life which she/he is experiencing by taking a seminar in personal financial manage- ment, car care, OF basic home repairs. You may even wish to learn some alternate approach to your vocation or hobbies. The possibilities are endless, and Confederation College can help. Non-credit programs can be developed in any community where there are 10 or more stu: dents willing to take the cours¢ and an instructor and a facility can be accessed. The students and the instructol basically determine the content ol the course and the fees are calcu: lated to cover the costs. Non-credit courses and semi nars are an excellent way to pro mote an interest in your hobby organization, and to develo} group sharing knowledge all experience. ; The first step toward develop ing such courses is to conta your supervisor of Communit Programs, either as an interest student or potential instructor, } discuss your interest. 7 For more information t Confederation College progr contact David Zub at 229-24 : 1-800-465-3364 (toll-free).
