Programs Branch

WELCOME JEANNA!
Community Programs would like to welcome Jeanna Baty for a
one-year secondment with the Branch. We are delighted to have her as part of
the team! Jeanna brings with her a wealth of experience. Her background
includes a Masters in Adult Education (program design and facilitation) from
St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish; 12 years with the Alberta
government; 9 years with a university; and 7 years as the Executive Director of
a not-for-profit community agency. Jeanna's expertise in adult education and
the not-for-profit sector will be a valuable addition to the Community Programs
Branch.
GROUP INSURANCE
We now have a group insurance plan for all Councils and literacy
programs that are legal entities (societies). Those of you who indicated to

else, I will be sending out a letter to all in the late fall or early winter
with the information. If you are interested in joining the plan NOW, please
give me a call. If you have any questions about the actual policy, please
