Migrant Worker Community Program launches new publication
A new public relations and marketing brochure will aid MWCP on its mission The Migrant Worker Community Program (MWCP) has released its very first public relations and marketing brochure. The brochure was created with the help of a grant from the Windsor Essex Community Foundation and a student intern. MWCP will use the brochure to increase its profile in the community and enhance its on-going financial sustainability efforts. The brochure outlines MWCP’s programs and services in English and Spanish. The purpose of the bilingual brochure was to properly articulate the programs to the community and to the migrant workers. The brochure introduces MWCP’s history, mission and various programs such as: bicycle safety workshops, Health and Information Fair, Spanish classes, annual festivals, monthly bilingual newsletters and bus trips. The brochure was created by Rachel Chausse, a student intern at the time and as part of a practicum with the University of Windsor’s Communications Department. MWCP welcomes students from high school and post secondary institutions that need to complete volunteer hours, community internships and school projects to lend their skills and expertise. If you would like copies of the brochure or if you know of someone or a business that would like copies please contact Lorraine at lorrainemwcp@mdirect.net The MWCP is a registered charity in Leamington and its mission is to provide a more positive balance to the life of the migrant worker by offering events and programs and to build cultural bridges with their host communities.

Dozens of teachers from Leamington and surrounding-area schools picketed along both sides of Erie Street North from as far south as Talbot Street to as far north as Wilkinson Drive Tuesday, Dec. 18. One group braved the day’s chilly winds from 9 a.m. to noon before another group took over from noon to 3 p.m. Strike action was taken in response to the Ontario provincial government’s proposal of Bill 115. The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario launched a one-day strike that included eight boards, including the Greater Essex County District School Board and neighbouring Lambton Kent District School Board. Bill 115 gives the Ontario government the power to stop strikes and force collective bargaining on teachers. (SUN Photo)
