WINNIPEG Winnipeg City Council is joining the long line of those opposed to Bill 64, the provincial law to reform education. Council voted to lobby the Pallister Government to put a pause on the proposed legislation and send it back to the drawing board. Mayor Brian Bowman said you don’t have to go far to see people opposing the bill. “I’m sure the Winnipeg-based MLAs of all political stripes are seeing the signs on lawns in all corners of our city right now,” said Bowman. The bill, if passed into law, would eliminate all school divisions and elected school boards, replacing them with a provincial authority.
