We are excited to be taking part in the Terry Fox Run and invite our McGillivray families and community to help support this important cause.

Donating is easy! Simply visit our school’s Terry Fox fundraising page:

All donations made online through our Terry Fox school page are receipted immediately by the Terry Fox Foundation.

You can choose the donation amount that works for you, and you are welcome to make as many donations as you wish.

Every donation, big or small, helps us continue Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer.

Our run will be on Monday, September 28th, 2026.

We’d like to share information about

1. Two optional insurance providers that offer coverage for certain medical expenses not included under OHIP. These services may be helpful for families seeking additional protection for their children.

Please note: this insurance is entirely optional and not required for school attendance. Sharing this information is simply intended to support families who may find it useful.

For details about the providers and coverage options, please refer to the following:

2. Vision exams are 100% covered by OHIP for children, and through the Eye See Eye Learn Program children in their Kindergarten year(s) can get free glasses.
