Minister of Education Visit

Yesterday, I was pleased to have Minister Stephen Lecce join me in Hastings-Lennox & Addington. We visited Limestone District School Board’s Construction Specialty High Skills Major program in Amherstview and NDSS’s Transportation Technology program. It was remarkable to witness students excited about their education.

These visits reinforced the importance of supporting our trade programs. We heard first-hand testimony from students coming to school for these programs and the teachers who encourage them, students who were offered summer jobs in the trades, and students who have plans for post-secondary trades careers.

Well done, LDSB, for supporting and fostering these opportunities and thank you to the community partners who have rallied around them.

Thank you to Minister Lecce for coming to see some of the fantastic work our schools are doing.
