Province replaced majority of Northlands College board of directors
The former chairperson of Northlands College believes the new board of directors will need a clear vision for northern students to succeed.
“It was a privilege to be on the Northlands College board of directors,” said Deborah Charles of Air Ronge. “I served one term, and I am thankful for the board appointment. Nowhere else on this planet would this college and institute experience exist.”
Her term on the college’s board of directors recently expired along with other local residents such as Jodie Stamp and Doreen Polischuk of La Ronge, as well as Veronica Favel of Cumberland House and Paul Trottier of Denare Beach. New members appointed to the board are Crystal Everest and Hugh Watt of La Ronge, Scott Robertson of Air Ronge, and Val Deschambeault and John Desjarlais from Cumberland House.
Three members were reappointed to the board and they are Myrna Bouvier of Beauval, Jackie Durocher of Buffalo Narrows and Victor Fern of Fond-du-Lac. As vice-chairperson, Charles said Fern is now the acting-chairperson and he’ll stay in the role until he’s told otherwise by the new board or an election is held. One area of particular importance the board will have to examine, she noted, is the future purpose of the mine school with the industry in a lull.
