Provincial Heritage Fair
Winner - Family Heritage Award
Heritage Fair 2006
This year’s Heritage Fair
was another tremendous success. The public support was again,
overwhelming and very much appreciated. We would like to thank the
parents who helped their children at home to produce such impressive
projects. These projects allow not only the students to learn about
their heritage but all of us to gain a deeper understanding and
appreciation of our culture. We would also like to thank the
Honorable Loyola Sullivan who attended the evening to view the
projects and then presented our winners with their awards.
