GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Remembrance Day Assemblies
This FRIDAY, Stelly's will dedicate blocks 2 and 3 for our Remembrance Day assemblies, to honour the service and sacrifice of the men and women who served our country, and those who continue to serve, in order to preserve our Canadian values and freedoms. This year is an especially notable year, as this is 100th anniversary of the World War 1 armistice. Poppies will be available, please remember to bring a donation for the Legion Poppy Fund and wear your poppy proudly.

Fire/Rescue Camp: Deadline To Apply is TODAY
Do you ever wonder what it’s like to run into a building that everyone else is running out of? Dream of using an extrication tool to cut up a car and extricate a victim? Think you could dangle off the end of a rope 50 feet in the air? Want to make a difference? If you have answered yes to any of the questions, you are a great candidate for the Southern Gulf Islands Fire/Rescue Cadet Camp taking place during one week of Spring Break 2019.
