On Thursday, November 13th, students at the buy microsoft office 2007 professional University of New Brunswick will
participate in a buy microsoft office 2007 professional public demonstration, a Day of Action, to raise awareness
and buy microsoft office 2007 professional foster a public investment of affordable education and the impact it buy microsoft office 2007 professional can
have on New Brunswick.  The University of New Brunswick Student Union
(UNBSU) has moved to act against current government policy that leaves
funding gaps to buy microsoft office 2007 professional high needs students, allowing New Brunswickers to incur the
highest average national debt of over $34,000.

"When the Action Plan to Transform Post-Secondary Education was released in
June, our government promised it would reassess financial aid before the
budget in the buy microsoft office 2007 professional spring and deliver a new, pragmatic system to New Brunswick,"
explained Bethany Vail, UNBSU President, "On our Day of Action, we will
remind the government that students are still waiting for commitments to
change."

The UNBSU advocates for buy microsoft office 2007 professional the reallocation from funds programs such as the
$2000 First Year Student Bursary and the $10,000 Tuition Tax Rebate towards
upfront grants through means of a buy microsoft office 2007 professional Student Loan Debt Cap and debt management
assistance through an Income Contingent Loan Repayment Program.

"To cultivate an accessible education, we must leave no students behind"
reaffirmed President Vail, "the pragmatic policies reflect the best interest
of our students, and buy microsoft office 2007 professional generations of students who are yet to begin study."

Prior to buy microsoft office 2007 professional the Day of Action on November 13th, members of the UNBSU will be
collected post-cards to be delivered to Premier Shawn Graham, identifying
themselves with the debt burden they carry.  The Union is striving to
connect with every student on campus, and buy microsoft office 2007 professional provide faces and names to the
millions of dollars of debt that the government has not yet addressed.

"Students are not just statistics to be discussed behind closed doors,"
President Vail declared. "Students contribute to every aspect of our
province.  The government has the opportunity to make education a priority,
catapulting a New Brunswick Education to the standard other provinces aspire
to become."

Local residents are buy microsoft office 2007 professional asked to secure items that could blow around in the wind and buy microsoft office 2007 professional prepare for possible power outages.  Some localized flooding could occur in low lying areas along waterways, so residents are buy microsoft office 2007 professional asked to be aware and take necessary precautions.

“Despite reports that buy microsoft office 2007 professional the centre of the storm could touch land along the Bay of Fundy coast, it buy microsoft office 2007 professional is a large system and is expected to impact much of southern New Brunswick,” says Fredericton Fire Chief Philip Toole and director of the City’s Emergency Measures Organization.  “We are buy microsoft office 2007 professional asking residents to take time to get prepared for heavy rains and buy microsoft office 2007 professional high winds.”

Fredericton, NB – The City of Fredericton has buy microsoft office 2007 professional approved a bylaw amendment that will see dogs banned from municipally owned and buy microsoft office 2007 professional operated sports / athletic fields, playgrounds and swimming areas.  The “dog free areas” will be buy microsoft office 2007 professional clearly identified by signage, and will still allow dogs and their owners to buy microsoft office 2007 professional use the rest of city parks, green spaces and trails.

“The intent of the buy microsoft office 2007 professional bylaw amendment was never to ban dogs from city parks and buy microsoft office 2007 professional trails,” said Coun. David Kelly, chair of the City’s Community Services Committee.  “The majority of dog owners in the city are very responsible.  This bylaw gives us the buy microsoft office 2007 professional tools we need to protect our citizens and deal with problem areas.”

The bylaw amendment was first presented at a buy microsoft office 2007 professional Council in Committee meeting on July 28, 2008 and addressed in an buy microsoft office 2007 professional administrative report entitled “Animals on Sports Fields.”   Over time, City staff have buy microsoft office 2007 professional received a number of complaints about dog feces on sport fields.

In addition to buy microsoft office 2007 professional the mess that occurs when sports players or children on playgrounds slide through dog feces, an buy microsoft office 2007 professional even greater concern is that animal feces and urine can transmit disease to buy microsoft office 2007 professional people, possibly resulting in serious illness.  Similar “dog free areas” exist in other municipalities.  The bylaw does not apply to service dogs used by persons with disabilities.

Dogs in the buy microsoft office 2007 professional City of Fredericton must be licensed and be on a buy microsoft office 2007 professional leash when in public.  Dog owners must pick up after their pets.
