If YOU or someone you know (Grandparent, neighbour, community member) would like to come in ONCE A WEEK for an hour from 1:00 - 2:00, for ONE MONTH (see schedule below) please let Donna know, and someone will get in touch with you! You will need a CPIC. We would love to have your help!! Thank you to those who have helped out so far with the Baking and 3D Printing Clubs!

JOIN PARENT COUNCIL FOR 2018/2019
Chair: Norah Brien
Treasurer: Corinna Geenavasen
Secretary: n/a
As you can see, we are still looking for someone to fill the position of secretary, which involves taking minutes during meetings, preparing them for distribution, and sharing with the Council after each meeting. Please let us know if you would be interested in filling this position.
Babysitting is provided at meetings. While the Council very much needs members who can volunteer at events and help out with fund-raising, anyone is welcome to attend meetings, even if it's just to listen or provide your ideas & opinions. We hope to see you soon!
