Dear Lynx families/Chères familles de Lynx, 

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy new year and a welcome back to school. We look forward to seeing all the students again on Monday morning. 

With the changing weather conditions our field, parking lot, pathways and the streets surrounding Vanier are exceptionally icy. Please take care when getting to school on Monday. 

Also, volleyball season kicks off immediately upon return. Please see the schedule below for important tryout dates and times. 

Finally, I would like to welcome Mme. Jessica Buresi to Vanier. She will be taking over for Mme. Hull on Monday. The grade 6 students had an opportunity to meet Mme. Buresi on the day before we broke up for the winter break. Mme. Buresi will be sending out a letter of introduction next week.  

We wish Mme Hull all the best as she welcomes a new addition to her family in January 2024. 

Bonne fin de semaine 

Chad Edmonds – Principal GP Vanier
