Office of the Citizens' Representative
October 20, 2010
Good Governance Week
The Canadian Council of Parliamentary
Ombudsman has designated the week of October 18 - 22 as Good Governance
Week — a nation-wide celebration of the role of the Ombudsman. In this
Province, the Office of the Citizens' Representative undertakes the role
of Ombudsman.
Over the course of the week the Office of the
Citizens' Representative has organized a number of events, including a
networking event for community-based agencies, and for departmental
designates who assist the Office in its work.
Also, a part of the celebration is an
essay-writing contest which solicited submissions from social studies
students in grade six on the topic of Good Governance. Background
materials were sent to schools in early September.
Among the submissions received, Ms. Kayla
Warren of Legallais Memorial in Isle aux Morts was judged the winner.
The Citizens' Representative, Barry Fleming,
invites all citizens to visit his office's website at
www.citizensrep.nl.ca
to learn more about the Office, and to read Kayla's winning essay.
