Carter Churchill, 8, of Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, N.L., is set to start Grade 3 in September without a teacher in place who is fluent in American Sign Language.
In the years since, Churchill said, resources have dwindled. Former teachers from the school who continued teaching deaf children at other schools are reaching retirement, he said, including a teacher who worked with Carter for the last few years. "It's extremely frustrating and stressful," the father said. "For something as vitally important as your child's education, it's a burden that you constantly carry."
The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, a respondent in the complaint along with the province's Education Department, said it respects the process and will continue to engage with the commission.

Federal appeal court greenlights airlines' challenge to passenger bill of rightsThe Federal Court of Appeal has agreed to hear airlines' legal challenge to Canada's new passenger bill of rights. Oh boy the airline lobbyists are fighting to deregulate themselves so they don’t have to respect their customers and treat them with dignity. No surprise Not to mention this story adds to the accusation of Air Canada ripping off their customers on fuel surcharges. I guess that is one way to generate tons of profits. Guess we are going to have a Hong Kong rally at pearson soon. Airlines, comply and do diligence or youll probably face the same as mentioned.
