There was a large contingent of visitors for the inaugural meeting of the new School District 27 board Monday evening.
The new board elected Will Van Osch as chair and Patricia Baker as vice-chair. After the meeting, Ken Matieshen, district principal of information technology (left), schooled the new Williams Lake area trustees, Jackie Austin, Joyce Cooper, Sheila Boehm, and Doug Neufeld on how to use their new Blackberries which will, among other things, remind them of meetings.
