Children Issues & Notre Dame School

Notre Dame School - Aug 31, 2006

Trustees move forward with fence At a special meeting of the Board last night, trustees heard details on the construction delays related to replacing the fence behind the school. In response to requests from parents, trustees decided, at the Board meeting on August 16, to build a wooden privacy fence in place of the chainlink, in order to reduce distractions for students in the classroom. The goal was to have this in place prior to the start of the school year.

The Board heard that construction delays early this week were related to a need for clarity regarding the specific placement of the new fence. Construction of the fence, which will run along the existing fenceline, is expected to begin on Monday, September 4. A construction safety fence will be in place on the playground while the work on installing the wooden fence proceeds

Statement to the Press:
Notre Dame School

We are a group of concerned Mother’s and Caregiver’s formed for the sole purpose of ensuring that every possible precaution is taken for the safety of our children while attending Notre Dame School. We are all hopeful for a speedy and peaceful resolution to the land claim issue. In the meantime we have a responsibility to ensure that we are not intentionally placing our children in harms way. There have been several occasions to which a heighten level of security and the potential for violence was real. We want to make sure every possible precaution is taken to avoid the continued emotional damage to our children during this dispute. We believe that the mother’s / caregivers on the Douglas Creek Development Site, will understand and appreciate our concern .We believe that they would be looking for similar assurances if it was their children in attendance. There are only days between now and the School Year, Our concerns are real and legitimate and our resolve is united. We have sent a formal letter to the School Board and the OPP we hope they act swiftly and diligently.

My Two Cents on a Fense at the School

From One of Our Readers

Children's safety is too important to ignore.

At Ipperwash we had native men in cars knock children off their bikes and then spit on them. We had children crying all night because natives banged on their bedroom windows through the night.

Many vehicles on several occasions had all their tires slashed.  It was a lark to smash out the rear windows of vehicles, or throw rocks at them while driving down the road.

Seniors were given notices of eviction at three o'clock in the morning on a regular basis by banging on their doors.

A few parents were threatened they had best be on time at the bus stop to pick up their children or they may not be there.  My neighbours for years walked and stayed with their children to get on the bus and had to be there when they came home. 

Children playing in the lake were dragged by natives back to another part of the lake that was not fronting on the former Ipperwash park in front of astonished parents.

Natives driving dirt bikes often went down the beach in and out of where children and adults were sitting on chairs and blankets spraying sand and knocking over coolers and beach umbrellas.

My own nieces and nephews were ordered off the west beach by natives and called white trash. 

Tourists on the beach with their children were often chased by natives and had their belongings stolen.  Some unsuspecting tourists were harassed and even assaulted.

Police would not go on the occupied areas to deal with this behaviour, even though the natives would deliberately come off the occupied area to wreak havoc ,  and were allowed the safe haven of the park and base after these incidents.
