  • Measles Vaccinations Prior to Spring Break Travel: Measles is a contagious, airborne virus. There is a high risk of measles cases being brought back to B.C. due to ongoing measles outbreaks globally and decreasing vaccination coverage rates in Canada. Public Health Agency of Canada and the Provincial Health Officer and the BC Centre for Disease Control have issued statements advising individuals to check their measles immunization records and to vaccinate against measles prior to Spring Break travel. Vaccine appointments can be booked through local public health units. Please share this information widely in your school community.

Shout Outs

  • To Pastor Josh, Miss V, Mrs. Hunter, and Pastor Neil for volunteering for our Gr 7/8 campout. Also to Camp Sagitawa and the Baptist Church for assisting with making the trip happen.
