Fighting in the House of Commons for On-Reserve Schools in the North

I found this article interesting from Thur Feb 26th Globe and Mail - Funding On-Reserve Schools political, note suggests'. The conservative government is trying to make a decision on what northern aboriginal community(s) will receive funding for a new school - that's the issue!

The PC government's General Director hired a Public Relations firm Hill and Knowlton to manage the bad press INAC was receiving regardin the state of on-reserve schools. This is all over a March 2008 memo, written by John-Paul Fournier - dept head of capital Planning that lists 5 communities with school problems.

NDP MP Charlie Angus defended the need for northern schools, INAC Strahl called Charlie Angus a "shaneless self-promoter spreading "a load of claptrap in the House of Commons, Mr. Agnus also said the the minister is failing in his duty to Aboriginals.

Stakeholders are Aboriginal Students who need schools in their Northern communities, INAC , MP's, Aboriginal Community Leaders and the PR firm.

Audience is the Canadian Public who watch for Aboriginal needs for the canadian dollars, political leaders.

This is jouralism not PR.
