are seeking other ways to fund scholarships Mike’s Kids fund to help address a $130,000 shortfall that directly affects the tuition of 24 students “It’s about affirming our commitment to Catholic education,” school officials said when they announced the program “Every donation to this fund directly supports students and maintains the spaces where learning and faith flourish.” The fund’s launch comes as Catholic and other private schools face the fallout from state lawmakers’ decision last year to end Invest in Kids Scholarship Tax Credit Program The program offered tax breaks to private donors who provide funds for low-income children to attend private schools At least two suburban Catholic schools that closed this year — St Odilo in Berwyn — in part blamed the program’s elimination “The loss of the state Invest in Kids scholarship program created a feeling of uncertainty for the school’s future that could not be overcome — even by an incredible fundraising effort,” the Rev George Koeune wrote in his letter announcing the closing to the St Hubert Director of Marketing Jessica Reisenbuchler said the Fr Mike’s Kids campaign is intended to honor Scherschel’s memory while also raising $88,000 to help students who need it “He fought for our school and advocated for our school,” she said The fund is a direct result of the state’s decision to allow Invest in Kids to expire offering a 75% income tax credit to individuals and businesses that contributed to qualified organizations that provide private and technical school scholarships for students whose families met income requirements According to the Illinois Department of Revenue there were 15,075 student recipients of the scholarships during the 2023-24 school year the program provided more than $25 million of aid to help approximately 5,000 low-income families send their kids to Catholic schools superintendent of schools for the archdiocese Bede students had been receiving Invest in Kids scholarships when the school decided to close “The legislature’s decision to end that program was a blow to those schoolchildren and a contributing factor to the fate of St Reisenbuchler hopes lawmakers recognize the public benefit of supporting private schools and reinstate Invest in Kids Hubert is within a public school district with a strong reputation Reisenbuchler said not all students thrive in a larger environment And there are aspects of a Catholic education — including more personal attention and the teaching of skills like cursive handwriting — that benefit students “A lot of parents want that for their children,” she said A link to the new St. Mike’s Kids fund is at givecentral.org the end of Invest in Kids is expected to be an ongoing challenge director of marketing and enrollment in the Catholic Schools Office Enrollment fell by only 48 students across the diocese this year in part because the Catholic Education Foundation Scholarship program provided $1 million to ease the burden for all those who benefited from Invest in Kids “We felt very blessed the loss was as minimal as it was for us,” Robb said the diocese had been able to assist more middle-income families and provide a tuition incentive for teachers with children Now the diocese is making an appeal to donors to keep low-income financial assistance available on a broader level The company will invest more than 11

Montreal Saint-Hubert Airport (YHU) has started work on its new passenger terminal, which is being built in conjunction with Porter Airlines, with an opening planned for mid-2025. Earlier this year, YHU and Porter said they were jointly developing a new nine-gate passenger terminal spanning 225,000 ft.² (21,000 m²). All building systems are being designed to be fully electric-powered.  Porter will utilize a combination of De Havilland Dash 8-400s and Embraer E195-E2s to operate domestic routes from YHU. Other airlines will also be able to use the new terminal. Porter has partnered with Macquarie Asset Management to form the joint company Partenaires d’infrastructure YHU (Quebec) to manage terminal development. Porter and Macquarie have said the terminal will have “an overall modern design aesthetic,” featuring “lounge-style seating for all passengers and access to food and beverage concessions, as well as retail vendors.” Preparatory construction work that started Aug. 16 “confirms [the airport’s] shift towards establishing itself in commercial aviation,” YHU says in a statement. The airport says it is now focusing on “excavation and leveling of the grounds,” noting that safety fences will be installed around the construction site. Yanic Roy, CEO of the airport, adds: “The YHU transformation will increase the airport capacity of the greater Montreal area and consolidate regional air service in Quebec. With this major infrastructure, travelers can expect a better experience, while the region receives significant economic return.” While a mid-2025 opening is being targeted, more specific details will be coming, according to the airport. YHU says it will provide a complete schedule and more information on terminal construction this autumn.  Porter has cited 11 potential domestic airports to be served from YHU: Calgary, Charlottetown, Edmonton, Halifax, Moncton, Quebec, St. John’s, Vancouver, Winnipeg and both Toronto airports—Billy Bishop and Pearson.
