Teaching Profession Act was given royal assent Tuesday by Lt.-Gov. Robert Rogers. Sections of the act dealing with collective bargaining come into force Jan. 1, 1988, while other sections become law when they are pro- claimed by an order signed by the provincial cabinet. The act, which was first introduced in the B.C. legisl- ature April 2, has been the subject of protests by teachers who went on a one-day illegal strike and have refused to supervise any extracurricular activiti- es. It sets up a college of tea- chers to oversee certification, discipling and professional development. Although it gives teachers the right to collective bargaining, princi- pals and vice-principals are designated as management. Seventeen other minor bills were also given royal assent Tuesday.

Therefore, it’s not surprising that it will be highlighted by a parade of equally grand proportions! Since the parade will follow the Rainbows and Roses theme of Sunfest, you can expect colorful floats, as well as clowns, marching bands, vintage cars, and bicycles. And you can be sure that there will be a few surprises along the way, too, Not to give away too much, but you'll want to make sure you catch the parade from beginning to end. It will be led by an honor guard from the Legion, followed by 300 Armed Forces cadets. Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Paul D. Manson, CMM, CD, will view the cadets from the dais in front of city hall. Armed Forces officers from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island will also be part of this grand spectacle — not a common sight in the streets of Castlegar! The Grand Marshall will be Hee Gervais, world curling champion of 1961, twice Canadian curling champ, and winner in another 200 bonspiels since 1950. An all-around sportsman, Hee also played Provincial Hockey in 1950 and Provincial Football in the 1953 finals. Many schools are planning to enter floats, and they should be sure to fill out the parade entry forms to be found at the chamber of commerce. Also, children under 12 who want to decorate their bicycles in the Rainbows and Roses theme and enter them in the parade can phone the chamber at 365-6313 and leave their name and age. Fun and fame are not the only incentives for joining the parade, though, lots of cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to the best and most interesting entrants. The presentations after the parade will also be well worth seeing, and you won't want to miss that either, even if you're not in line for a prize yourself. The parade will marshal on Monashee Avenue at 9:30 a.m. June 5. It will begin at 11 a.m. and conclude by 12: 30 pread.in the glossy.
