History
The Ministerial Advisory Committee on Canadian Regional Publishing was established by Hon. Terry Donahoe, Minister of Education, in the spring 1982. The Advisory Committee’s mandate was to review the extent, level of awareness, and use of Canadian publications in Nova Scotia’s schools and libraries, especially those produced in the Atlantic region. The Department was also interested in how local publishers might respond to provincial needs. The Advisory Committee was composed of 8 members with William McCurdy, former printer, publisher, and President of Canadian Periodical Publishers Association, appointed as chairperson. Kathie Swenson, Senior Educational Advisor for the Department, acted as Secretary. They reviewed the Department of Education’s resource lists, textbook selection criteria and budgets, the operation of the School Book Bureau, and department publications; they gathered information from other provinces and territories for a comparative view; they invited written submissions (briefs) from stakeholders; and they listened to presentations from experts. The final report with 52 recommendations was published by the Department in 1983 and the Committee disbanded.
