Bev Haines Recipient of the
Carleton Victoria Outstanding Citizen Award for 2023
I have three children and 7 grandchildren. My family is my life. I am a black belt in a martial arts program, Kung Fu for 16 years.
I completed the GED and received my diploma in 1977.
Completed Microcomputer Business Certificate program at Eastern Business College (then called CompuCollege.)
I completed the Adult Education Diploma through UNB while working in the Adult Learning Program.
I believe that everyone has a right to an education, regardless if it is through our school system, or adult diploma program or through GED. Our adult learning program gives our students a chance to
better their lives starting with getting their GED.
The adult learning program is a first step for our students getting a better job, going on to College, or in some cases even on to University.
Having worked for the Adult Learning Program for 22 years, I have see many changes and they have all be for the betterment of our program and giving our best to the students. The best thing about
working with my students is their different personalities, their experiences, and their personal stories. My classroom is very open, friendly, and we all share the things that happen in our
lives.
You can see their confidence grow with each exam they complete. Seeing their expressions and joy of accomplishments when they receive their diploma is the most rewarding thing about working
with my students. Graduation Day is the ultimate acknowledgement for our students.

Hartland Distance Learning
31 Orser Street Unit #1
Hartland, NB E7P 1R4
Facilitator: Calvin Brymer
Phone: (506) 324-3929
Graduated from UNB with a Bachelor of Education degree. Taught in public school for 28 years, ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 8. I also was able to coach many different sports, which gave me the opportunity to get to know the students outside the classroom.
One of my goals was to teach adults, and I am excited about the opportunity to do that. One valuable lesson I learned early in my career, which will always hold true, is that students (young and old) don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
I look forward to being able to help people who want to make a better life for themselves and their family.
