We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. GRAND Marais parents whose kids were involved in the infamous ' moose droppings' canoe trip will be getting a call from the superintendent today. Just how much he'll be telling them about the fallout is uncertain, but Lord Selkirk school board chairman Bert Skogan said Thursday the call will at least involve news about private counselling. And it could include word about who will be principal at Walter Whyte School in September, Skogan said. One thing is certain, said Skogan - superintendent Scott Kwasnitza will not be saying anything about what, if anything, trustees decided behind closed doors to do about the three teachers who supervised last month's trip, in which two children were tricked by a non- teacher adult chaperone into putting moose droppings in their mouths. Kwasnitza has previously said by the time the second child put the moose droppings in her mouth, all three teachers were aware of what was happening. " It is not discipline," Skogan said. " He'll be contacting the parents before noon. He'll do it by telephone." Parents say a lawyer representing several families asked the board Tuesday to provide private counselling services for the children on the trip at board expense. " To my knowledge, yes, that will be provided," Skogan said. Lawyer Murray Trachtenberg would not comment about specifics Thursday, because he addressed trustees behind closed doors. " We outlined to the board parental concerns and certain things we believe will be in the best interests of the children," Trachtenberg said. " We will be waiting of course to hear from the board on Friday." Parents say the principal - whom the division has not confirmed to be one of the three teachers on the trip - has gone on leave for the rest of the school year, and one of the other two teachers will move to a different school in September. Skogan said the division would not be making public any personnel matters, which is standard among school divisions. nick. martin@ freepress. mb. ca O TTAWA - A federal fund that helped municipalities buy equipment to prepare for natural disasters and other emergencies has been quietly canned. The Joint Emergency Preparedness Program will be eliminated in 2013, after more than three decades of existence. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is also mothballing the Canadian Emergency Management College. " It's had a significant role to play," said Manitoba Infrastructure Minister Steve Ashton. He said the province is concerned about the loss of the program and the impact it will have on the ability of communities to meet the needs of their residents in times of trouble. The program funded equipment, urban search and rescue and critical infrastructure projects at the municipal level. The Public Safety Canada website says the program was intended to " enhance the national capacity to respond to all types of emergencies and to enhance the resiliency of critical infrastructure." Toews's spokeswoman Julie Carmichael said Thursday the program has outlived its mandate. " At this point, the capacity has been enhanced and provinces are equipped to respond to their jurisdictional responsibility of emergency management," she said. The program has spent more than $ 170 million since 1980. Manitoba municipalities have received $ 4.6 million in the last decade. Manitoba is to get $ 130,000 in 2012/ 13. Most of the money goes to buy equipment to help municipalities defend against such events as floods and forest fires. Ashton said the college helped jurisdictions learn from each other and create national standards for emergency preparedness. The cut wasn't not mentioned in the budget, however it was noted in a memo from assistant deputy minister Gina Wilson. Provincial ministers discussed the cut at a recent joint meeting. The memo says the cuts " will result in a leaner, more efficient and effective federal government engaged in the delivery of its core business areas, which these two programs are outside of." A 2008 evaluation of the program concluded there is a need for the federal government to contribute to emergency management at the provincial and federal levels and the absence of JEPP would " significantly and negatively" impact emergency preparedness at the community level. mia. rabson@ freepress. mb. ca ' Moose droppings' case sparks counselling By Nick Martin Feds nix forest fire, flood fund By Mia Rabson CRAIG MCGRATH / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Bigger fish to fry Free Press photographer Joe Bryksa shows off his catch at the first- ever Fish Tales Media Day on the Red River Thursday.
