Counsellor's Corner

In true Albertan fashion, the weather went from Freeeeezing to why am I wearing this coat? That being said, it's officially December, so let the decorating begin!

Big News!

We are planning to give the Learning Commons (Library) a bit of a facelift over the coming months. We've been saving the Canteen funds for a very long time, and we are looking forward to splurge on some soft seating areas. Day to day purchasing by students and events like the cookie and popcorn sales during the Winter Concert make cool things happen!

Stay tuned..........
