Graduating!

Congratulations to all of our students who graduated this week!

 

 

 

Activities around our schools

This past weekend saw many of Sturgeon Heights Collegiate's international students participate in the annual Dragon Boat race.

And the week before, St. James Collegiate had a pizza party right before their Chilean students left to go home.

 

 

 

This weekend will be our last activity of the school year, meeting at the Forks Saturday afternoon for some food and last-minute souvenir shopping.

Free things to do!

This Saturday, June 7th, is National Health and Fitness Day, and the City of Winnipeg will participate by giving free access to all City of Winnipeg fitness facilities and indoor pools that day.

Also, for the month of June the Winnipeg Art Gallery is giving free admission to all youth age 18 and under.  Check their website here to see what's on this month.

Doors Open Winnipeg--this weekend

Doors Open Winnipeg is a great chance to explore some of Winnipeg's most interesting building, usually not open to the public.  Many historic buildings participate, giving you a behind the scenes view of some great buildings and history, all for free.  There will also be free waling tours in the Exchange District and a free screening of a documentary about Winnipeg's General Strike at Cinematheque.  Some of the buildings you can check out are Bank of Montreal (corner of Portage and Main), Government House (on Kennedy, next to the Legislative Building),The Law Courts, the Naval Museum of Canada, St. Mary's Cathedral, the Winnipeg Fire Museum, the Winnipeg Railway Museum, and the Vaughn Street Jail, which has costumed performers from the days when this now abandoned jail was in full use. 

Check the website for a list of buildings and their location and hours open at http://www.doorsopenwinnipeg.ca/index.html

The Zoo

This past Saturday, about 40 of our students visited Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo.  It was a hot day to start, and our visit ended with a downpour of rain.  Luckily, we were pretty much finished when the rain started. 

Our Students Around SJSD

Finally the weather is beautiful, and everyone has been keeping busy.

Some students have been cooking,

some have been playing soccer,

 

 

some have been playing ping pong,

 



some were helping out with John Taylor Collegiate's 50th reunion,

and some have been focused on studying.

 

 

It is the coming up on the last week of May already, and we will be going to the zoo, to a Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball game, having our annual year-end BBQ, and saying goodbye to our Chilean group as they leave Winnipeg.  This will be a great week!

Canada vs. US Women's Soccer

Last night we attended the Canada-US Women's soccer game here in Winnipeg.  There was a great turnout.
