This week, our school community joins Canadians across the country in recognizing Veterans’ Week, a time to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of members of the Canadian Armed Forces.  Yesterday, November 8, Canada marked National Indigenous Veterans Day. This important day recognizes the contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have served our country. More than 12 000 Indigenous people served in past conflicts around the world, and nearly 3,000 Indigenous members continue to serve in Canada’s military today.  National Indigenous Veterans Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on their dedication, bravery, and lasting contributions to Canada. As we continue through Veterans’ Week, let the symbol of the poppy remind us to pause, reflect, and remember all those who have served and sacrificed for our country. 

Attention to all boys that are interested in playing ice hockey this year. The non-contact and contact schedules have been updated and are posted in the Phys-ed hallway. You need to scan the QR code and have a signed permission form in order to tryout. See you at the rink. 

Attention all boys trying out for the Non-Contact Hockey Team. The list of players advancing to the next tryout has been posted outside the Phys-ed hallway.  The next tryout is today at 4:00 p.m. at the Civic Centre Arena.  Congratulations to those moving forward! We look forward to seeing you there. 

On Wednesday, all students will receive a poppy in your homeroom to wear for the day. Please bring in your spare change to make a donation for your poppy. The funds go to the Royal Canadian Legion to support Canadian veterans and currently serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families. Donations are voluntary and much appreciated. 

 Today is the final day for Cadets, Scouts and Girl Guides to sign up to swap their uniform on Remembrance day.  If you wish to participate, please sign your name on the list outside of the Main Office before the end of the day.
