WAG Sept. 25-29 | BBQ, Orange Shirt Day, Truth & Reconciliation Event

Barbeque

Acadia BBQ on Thursday was amazing! The weather was perfect and the hot dogs were delicious! Thank you to everyone who came, and a special thanks to our hard-working Parent Council for organizing, serving and providing the hot dogs.  

Orange Shirt Day

Thursday is Orange Shirt Day. This is a day to commemorate and reflect on the ongoing effects of residential schools and to honour the experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. Students will learn in a developmentally appropriate way about Canada’s history. For more information, please see Truth and Reconcilliation Week and Orange Shirt Day.
