Day of Significance:  Tomorrow is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Today,we wear orange and give space to remember, reflect, and commit ourselves to reconciliation by addressing the historical injustices inflicted upon the Indigenous peoples and moving towards a more just and equitable future. Students will be coming to your period 3 classes to give a brief presentation on today’s importance and lead a school wide activity. Teachers, please check the ELC staffroom online as the link for the slideshow is there for you. 

Recycling: Today during Period 3 our Grade 9 Geography Recycling Team will be coming to your classrooms to pick up your recycling bins.  Please ensure that your ‘blue’ and ‘gray’ bins have been properly sorted, and that your bins are placed outside your classroom or office doors at this time.  Thank you!
