Remembrance Day 2008



On Remembrance Day, Tuesday, November 11th, we will be conducting a very brief ceremony at the flagpole in front of Garriock Hall. Any and all students, staff , faculty and admin are invited to share in a moment to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We would like to get started a few minutes before 11:00 so that at the appropriate time there will be a minute of silence. In the event of nasty weather we will retreat to the Kingdome.

The portables are here


The portables from the York Catholic District School Board arrived over the past weekend. Occupancy is slated for January 2009.

Golf Course Technician update



The golf course technician students received some industry specific tools earlier this year. Kubota donated 5 small compact 2 cylinder diesel engines for the students to use and service.

Bernhard Dual Express supplied the college with 2 pieces of equipment that are used to sharpen the reel mowers used at all golf courses.

Both of these suppliers are essential for the success of our students as they move into the working world.
