(A) Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Local student recommends job as Legislative Page By Angie Saunders The News Deanna Cosgrove recently returned from Toronto where she was a legislative page for 5 weeks. Fourteen year old Deanna, who attends Grade 8 at Holy Angels School in Schreiber, applied for the program when she was in Grade 7.- She was accept- ed in February, 1990 and was in Toronto from April 17 to May 19th. Deanna described her job as a "Legislative Page" as being a run- ner to get water and messages for Members of Parliament (MP's) at Queen's Park in Toronto. Regular citizens aren't allowed in the chambers at Queen's Park so students can apply for the job. To be a page, a student must have a minimum 80% scholastic average, a place to stay in Toronto during the term of duty and be recommended by the school principal. Deanna said that she was in one of five groups of 24 students. There were over 800 applicants of students trying for the position when she applied. Deanna men- tioned, "It's hard to get in because our riding isn't as popular as the Toronto riding." Deanna, who represented Gilles Pouliot's riding, along with the other 23 students in her group were in the chambers from Monday to Thursday 1:30 - 3:300n school days and 1:30 - 6:00 on the rest of the days. They attended school on Mondays and Wednesdays in the morning and from 3:30 - 6:00 in the afternoon. Each student had a separate job to do in the morning before school. Besides inserting pages into binders in the legislature, the students had routes where they distributed papers throughout the whole building. While doing this, they worked as a team. A uniform had to be worn while each page worked in the House. School included classes in Math, History, French, English, Art, and Legislative Process. The week wasn't all school and work. Each week something fun would be planned on Friday.
