Yesterday, Carmen’s Group made a “no strings attached” pitch to city councillors at a general issues meeting in its bid to take over the operation of three Hamilton entertainment facilities. The consortium also has its eyes on Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School, which closes in 2019. What is the status of the bid and how did council respond to the pitch? Guest: PJ Mercanti, CEO of Carmen’s Group The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario told members at its annual meeting yesterday that they denounce Doug Ford’s vow to revert to the 1998 sex-ed curriculum. They’re referring to the move as “irresponsible” and that they will defend any teacher who sticks to the 2015 curriculum. The message was delivered by ETFO president Sam Hammond. Does the province have a realistic chance of reverting the curriculum given the opposition from teachers? Guest - Manny Figuierdo, Director of Education at the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board
