              Ernie Checkeris fonds
              CA ON00159 P111 · Fonds · n.d.; 1934-2000 (predominant 1955-1980)

              The Ernie Checkeris fonds attests to the role that Ernie Checkeris played in the growth of the Ontario education system, as well as his role in specific challenges and debates facing the system. The fonds contains published and unpublished reports, correspondence, newspaper clippings, books, transcripts of speeches, and photographs relating to education in local, provincial, federal, and global contexts. Additional material includes personal correspondence and documentation relating to Ernie Checkeris’ interests and activity in the community. The manuscript of his book Thanks Be to the Gods!: A Memory with hand-written notations is also included.

              The fonds also informs us of the changes and evolution of the education system in Ontario throughout the period of Ernie Checkeris’ trusteeship, with an emphasis on the specific challenges that would face the schools of the Sudbury region. Of particular insight is the centrality of issues related to the delivery of French language education and the challenges of bilingualism in the school system of Ontario and the Sudbury region.

              Specific documentation about education includes correspondence and unpublished notes regarding the 1968 Hall-Dennis Report, issues of multi-culturalism, bilingualism, and special needs education.
