GENERAL MEETING

Our first general meeting of the year will be held on Mon., Sept. 20 at our inservice. During this meeting, our local executive members will be introduced, and we will also hear from Mr. David Thompson, Director of Education. The next two years promise to be very interesting and challenging, as we enter into an amalgamation with Turtleford and Meadow Lake school divisions.

B.R.T.A. WEBSITE ADDRESS

We continue to use or own (shorter!) domain name. This makes it much easier to access our website. To quickly visit this website from a computer that has not been bookmarked, simply go to:

www.brta.org

Our old (long) address will continue to work, so if you have it bookmarked, you don't need to change it. The short URL is simply a "shortcut" or a direct link to our existing website.
