    Vaughn Ramsay


    Ramsay is a farmer. He was a candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada in the 1979 federal election, and finished third in the Brandon—Souris riding. He was Liberal candidate for
    Arthur-Virden in the 2003 provincial elections. He served as Mayor of Waskada, a village in southwestern Manitoba of fewer than 300 people, from 1992 to 2006. In 1998, he expressed concern that a proposal to close the local school could result in the destruction of his community. The school remained open, although the closure of N.M. Paterson & Sons grain elevator the following year was a setback for the local economy. He did not run for re-election in 2006.


    School Divisions



    Stan Franklin chaired the Manitoba Health Department's mental health program for northern Manitoba. He became Chair of the Mystery Lake Division in 1997, after Bev Desjarlais was elected to the House of Commons.
    Fred MacLean was not a member of the previous board.
    Gary McMillan was elected to the Mystery Lake School Board in 1992, and was its chair before Bev Desjarlais was selected for the position in 1994. In February 1994, he announced that two area teachers had been suspended for fighting in front of their students.
    Margaret Pronyk operates a bookkeeping organization in Northern Manitoba. She has served as president of BPW Canada, has lobbied in favour of progressive pay equity policies, and was named BPW Canada Woman of the Year in 2004. She was also the Chief Electoral Officer for the northern provincial constituency of Thompson in 1999. She indicated that she required icebreakers to transport ballot boxes, and said that her financial resources in such a large area were stretched thin. She was chair of the Mystery Lake School Division by 2000, and appears to have been elected to the Thompson municipal council in 2002.
