OCDSB looking to cut $15 million to $20 million as deficit piles up Central administration is on the chopping block, special education is not, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board audit committee hears.

I served on this board a number of years ago and it was a very good experience. A strong organization involved in a wide range of community services in the west end. A great place to volunteer.

I'm disappointed and saddened tonight by the Algonquin College Board of Governors' decision to cut 30 critically important programs. Programs that led to employment, that built our community, that made our economy stronger. This goes way beyond Mr. Ford's "basket weaving" quip.
