We have much to celebrate in this country while reflecting on historical injustices. Let’s use this Canada Day as an opportunity to acknowledge the challenges of the past and begin the hard work of building towards a better future. Happy Canada Day!

Highlights of our first 2 days of school: 80s riffs instead of bells for staggered dismissals, an epic grad vs staff challenge involving T-rexes, most of all... having the kids back!! #SESSProud #grad2021 @kbrunton4 @MrsBrowning53 @MrAdam53 @areichl1 @TomEccleston
