One host family even took the whole team out whale watching in Ucluelet. (I must admit the team agreed they have never been more cold!). We went out in this […]

RE: Think Day Presentation
I would like to thank the performers, the writers, the sponsors and the logistical folks for their contribution to the Think Day presentation. Our school had the benefit of the presentation on the afternoon of September 24. The troupe who came to our school was very professional, effective and efficient. The performance surpassed my expectations and clearly is worthy of the support from your sponsors. Sponsors can be proud to have their name associated with this quality of presentation.
Students were impacted with the message and after consulting with students understood the role they could play in assisting those less fortunate. They were also made aware of the outstanding opportunities to become involved in the Hero Holiday program when they complete their education programs.
I look forward to using the wrap around resources in our school to support the global needs to develop a compassionate and supportive community for our own citizens and those in other countries.
Thank you to your organization for the opportunity. Well done.
Sincerely,
Garnet Goertzen, Principal

As we are getting closer to the summer, the number of performances we have left start to look smaller every day. Looking back to the start of the four months and hundreds of events that were scheduled, I remember feeling […]
