Thomas Greenway, Premiere of Manitoba Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada

Demographic Changes Post 1870  Increased English, protestant population  French and Catholics = minority  Greenway creates one public, non-denominational, English school system

Educational Reform Legislation  Official languages act (1890) – Made English only official language in MB  An Act Respecting the Department of Education – Replaced existing dual system  An Act Respecting Public Schools – Only English, non-religious schools funded

Laurier-Greenway Compromise, 1897  Prime Minister Laurier and Premier Greenway worked together towards a compromise.

Manitoba Schools Act, 1897  Single public school system  If enough Catholic students, Catholic teacher could be hired  Teachers don’t provide religious instruction- has to be priest and not all students required to attend  Bilingual- if enough students spoke another language, instruction could be provided in that language.
