MINISTER NORRIS APPOINTS ADMINISTRATOR FOR CARLTON TRAIL

Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris has accepted the resignations of several members of the Carlton Trail Regional College Board. Norris has invoked provisions of The Regional Colleges Act to appoint an Administrator to replace the Board and take over day to day operations, effective immediately.

"This marks a new chapter in the evolution of Carlton Trail Regional College, an institution with a bright and promising future," Norris said.

Graham Pearson, Managing Partner with Deloitte, has been appointed to serve as the Administrator.

Under Section 28 (1)c of the Act, where "financial or significant operational problems exist in connection with a regional college," the minister may appoint a person as administrator of the regional college. The Act gives the administrator a mandate to function with the same authority as a board.
