On Tuesday, December 18, the Board of Trustees for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board held their annual election for the positions of Chair of the Board and Vice Chair at their monthly board meeting. Jody Cameron, formerly the Vice Chair, has moved into the position of Chair, and trustee Michael Bellmore will serve as Vice Chair for the next year. Cameron has served as both Chair and Vice Chair in past years for the Sudbury Catholic board, and is looking forward to this upcoming year at the helm. “I would like to thank all the trustees for their support and I know that our team around the table has great experience and insight.” Cameron stated. “This next year will definitely bring with it some great challenges, however I believe that we will be able to work through these challenges and be stronger for it.” Vice Chair Bellmore, who has also served as Chair and Vice Chair in the past, also thanked his fellow trustees. “I am humbled and honoured to be chosen by my peers this evening to serve as Vice Chair of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board for the next year.”

Setting Their Limits High
The largest school canned food drive in the city kicked off on October 15 at St. Charles College in Sudbury. Students at the school have one week to canvas neighbourhoods and collect 60 thousand non-perishable food items for the Sudbury Food Bank.
The drive started twenty-seven years ago. Principal Patty Mardero says, “When the weather gets cooler, the Sudbury Food Bank relies on our helping hand. That time has come and it is time for us to deliver.”
Last year, the school surpassed its goal and collected 120-thousand cans. This was the largest single donation in the history of the Sudbury Food Bank.
Even with the forecast looking dismal this week, students were urged to forge ahead and get out into their neighbourhoods to collect cans.
The high school is also supported by its feeder schools. Each year, students at St. Bernadette, St. Raphael, Pius XII, St. Andrew, St. David and St Paul and St. John take up the cause.
