Good Day Darce,

I am very impressed that you have contacted me for my input on this important subject.

We are celebrating Democracy 250, and with that comes a pride in knowing what a great country we live in to have such freedom. Government, no matter what level, should be held accountable for what goes on. The public has voted it's representatives in and therefore should be kept informed of what they are doing. The HRSB is no different. If a candidate has committed themselves to represent the people of their community, they should have no reason at all not to be accountable and open with them.

I take great pride in the hard work I do, so why wouldn't I want everyone to know about it. We are working on issues that should be the priority of our public, so what reason could we possibly have for hiding anything from them.

Thanking you for this opportunity,

Tracey Mohr

Good Morning;

Thank you for the opportunity to comment. It my press release

and on other sites i.e. Halifax Chamber of Commerce, I have clearly

stated " Moreover, the board must listen to the advice of school

advisory committees as well as individuals and other important

stakeholder groups. "The past practice of playing "hide and seek"

through the guise of in camera sessions and unrecorded votes must come

to end." I think we all agree that the time for games and evasion must

come to an end. Our children deserve better."

Again thank you.

Lloyd Jackson

Darce,

Thanks for the note.

As a public librarian with over fifteen years of dedicated service, I am deeply committed to the promotion of intellectual freedom and access to information for all citizens.

While we must also protect people's privacy, access to public information is a fundamental pillar of democracy which must be upheld.

Regards,

Troy Myers, Candidate HRSB District 3
