 Greetings  members  of  NBHEA,    Snow  still  covers  the  ground  in  northern  New  Brunswick.  Recently,  we  received  another  15  cm  of  snow.  At  this  beginning  of  spring,  we  wait,  impatiently  for  milder  weather  to  warm  our  bodies  and  souls.      Our  upcoming  AGA  and  Conference  will  conclude  the  end  of  my  first  year  as  president  of  NBHEA.  These  past  eleven  months  have  been  rich,  interesting,  and  full  of  challenges  during  which  I  have  learned  a  lot.  My  experience  has  led  me  to  appreciate  the  work  accomplished  by  our  past  presidents  and  I  thank  them  for  their  contribution  to  our  association.  I  also  want  to  thank  the  members  of  our  board  of  directors  who  have  worked  so  hard  to  accomplish  the  necessary  tasks.  Special  thanks  go  to  Murielle  Gaudet  and  Aline  Landry  who  have  helped  and  supported  me  immensely  all  year  long.    A  variety  of  activities  have  kept  us  busy.  Since  our  last  report  in  October,  there  have  been  many  exchanges,  mostly  over  the  phone  and  through  e-­‐mails.  Aline  and  I  have  continued  to  revise  the  Professional  Development  Grant  Application  Form.  The  French  version  is  completed.  We  are  waiting  for  the  English  version  approval  before  publishing  them  on  our  Webb  site:  NBHEA/ANBEF.  We  have  studied,  among  other  topics,  the  correct  method  to  conduct  an  official  meeting.  Lately,  we  have  evaluated  the  demands  of  grants  to  assist  the  international  conference  in  Seoul.  Also,  we  continue  to  maintain  links  between  Home  Economics  associations  throughout  Canada.  To  help  stimulate  enrolment  à  ÉANEF  au  U  de  M,  a  letter  was  sent  to  a  high  school  guidance  counsellor  to  inform  her  of  the  Thelma  Sewell  grant;  others  will  follow.  Lately,  a  letter  was  sent  to  Ms.  Natalie  Carrier,  director  of  ÉSANEF  at  U  de  M  concerning  the  future  of  ÉANEF.  Recently,  we  have  prepared  official  documents  for  the  AGA  meeting  in  May.    The  board  of  directors  held  5  meetings:

The  Saint  John  Chapter  held  one  meeting  this  fall  to  help  organize  our  major  project,  the  Saint  John  School  Milk  Fund.    A  second  meeting  was  held  in  January  to  update  members  on  the  progress  for  2015-­‐2016.  We  had  received  sufficient  funding  to  start  distributing  milk  to  14  schools  in  October.  This  is  a  month  earlier  than  the  usual  start  up  in  November.    At  this  point  we  have  reached  week  18  and  will  pass  our  usual  20  week  distribution  span.  The  program  costs  approximately  $700.00/week.  We  hope  to  continue  into  April  and  perhaps  even  early  May.  Our  celebration  of  International  Home  Economics  Day  will  take  place  in  April.  We  plan  to  hold  an  annual  meeting  in  June.    Respectfully  submitted,    Marilyn  Upton,  PHEc.,  Saint  John  Chapter  President

In  memorian  of  a  Home  Economic  who  passed  away  in  2016                                                                                                                                

Janice  Slaney  –  Home  Economist  from  Bathurst  passed  away  November  11th,  2015,  after  a  lengthy  struggle  with  cancer.      A  very  proud  Home  Economist,  Janice  was  a  determined  lady  with  a  strong  work  ethic.    So  proud  of  being  the  only  Home  Economist  in  her  office,  she  felt  special  and  unique.  Her  pride  was  only  surpassed  by  her  devotion,  her  devotion  to  her  clients,  her  co-­‐workers  and  her  dedication  to  NBHEA.  A  master  trainer  for  the  ‘Nobody’s  perfect’  program,  she  was  also  the  ‘Parenting  Plus  

Program’  coordinator.  Countless  parenting  classes  to  prepare,  meetings  to  organize  or  training  to  give…  these  were  her  biggest  satisfactions  and  she  glowed  in  them  as  a  true  professional.  One  cannot  forget  that  she  was  instrumental  in  keeping  ‘the  Bathurst  area  milk  foundation  fund’  program  going,  as  she  saw  a  definite  need  to  give  school  children  a  glass  of  mild  every  day.  She  was  so,  so  proud  of  that.    2008  had  to  be  the  worst  year  of  her  life…  In  May  she  was  diagnosed  with  cancer.  In  July  she  lost  her  dear  mother.  A  few  months  later,  another  tremendous  blow…  all  the  Home  Economist  government  positions  were  cut  throughout  the  province.  Devastated!    We,  the  Bathurst  Chapter,  would  like  to  recognize  Janice’s  passing  and  may  she  remain  an  inspiration  to  us  all.

10.CORRESONDANCE    A  questionnaire  re:  Possible  Review  of  Mutual  Recognition  Agreement  (MRA)  for  Labour  Mobility  of  Home  Economist  or  Human  Ecologist  signed  in  April  1990  was  received.    The  3  questions  were  as  follows:  

1. How  has  the  MRA  worked  for  your  Association?  2. Are  there  any  issues  which  need  to  be  addressed  to  make  the  agreement  work  more  

effective?  3. Have  any  modifications  or  new  occupational  standards  or  occupational  

requirements  been  adopted  in  your  jurisdiction  that  might  impact  the  interprovincial  mobility  of  workers?  

 

To  date,  request  was  made  so  we  never  had  to  apply  this  agreement  to  allow  the  use  of  the  title,  Professional  Home  Economist,  and  practice  their  profession  in  New  Brunswick.  We  received  a  request  from  Mélanie  Morin  who  is  doing  research  for  her  thesis,  "Conservative  housewives"?  :  Women's  activism  in  the  Maritimes  under  the  Royal  Commission  on  the  Status  of  Women  in  Canada,  1967-­‐1970.    She  would  like  to  interview  some  of  our  members  who  presented  when  the  Commission  came  to  NB.    

Our  own  research  in  our  NBHEA  files  stored  at  the  NB  Provincial  Archives,  confirmed  that  three  of  our  members  presented  a  brief  in  February  1968  when  the  Royal  Commission  on  the  Status  of  Women  in  Canada  came  to  NB.  

1) Donna  Young  presented  as  a  professional  representing  herself  ;  2) Ruby  MacNeil  and  Gladys  MdGivery  presented  the  NBHEA  brief  prepared  by  a    

committee  of  5  persons  from  Saint  John  :  Ruby  MacNeil,  Norma  Beville,  Mary  Maddox,  Gladys  McGivery  and  Betty  MacRae.      

3) Nancy  Cook  presented  for  the  ‘NB  Section  of  the  Canadian  Federation  of  University  Women’.  

Ms  Morin  will  be  coming  to  New  Brunswick  next  May  or  June  to  interview  some  of  our  members.
