The following is a media release that went out today (September 26) from the Kamloops South Thompson Constituency Association, of the BC Conservative Party:
In the Service Plan for 2012 – 2015, former Education
Minister George Abbot stated that; “The world has changed significantly since
our education system was designed and while we continue to have a very strong
system, we must make bold changes to support our teachers and ensure that every
student receives an education that reflects their unique needs, interests and
passions."
Despite these words, the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre, which will nurture and develop science and technology in the Kamloops area, and provide skills for workers that are needed in tech trades, remains little more than a dream. It sits awaiting approval from the Liberal government.
Earlier
this Summer Kamloops Liberal MLA Terry Lake indicated this project was his #1
priority, and that it was a priority for the government as well.
“How many times will we be hearing Terry
Lake, and the Liberal government of Christy Clark repeat those words?”
asked Peter Sharp, Vice-President of the BC Conservative Party’s Kamloops South
Thompson South Thompson Constituency Association.
“All across the province new classrooms and
schools are being built in Revelstoke, Surrey, Williams Lake, Langley, Fort St.
John, Port Alberni, Burnaby, Victoria, Kitsilano, and Chilliwack. Missing from that list however, is the city
of Kamloops.”
