Dear Vanier families,
It was wonderful to see all the families here at the meet Vanier open house. Also, a recognition needs to go out to our Parent Council president, Farouk Gillani, for speaking to how well Vanier is supported by our parent community and how you can get involved with our parent council. Our first meeting will be later this month. Please stay tuned for more information.
Our athletics season has kicked off and Vanier’s cross-country team had a very successful and very well attended first meet. Next week our soccer season begins and, great news, we are now hosting our own soccer games this season! Finally, please see below for Basketball tryout schedules
Bon weekend,
Mr. Chad Edmonds – Principal École Georges P Vanier School

School Store Items Available!
There are some items available to purchase from the school! See the items below and their prices. To get these items, the fee is available for you to add to your “Cart”. Once you pay for the items, please have your student come to the Main Office and talk to Ms. Beth and she will get the items ordered for your student.
A few things to note!
- Sales are final. We can’t take back anything that has left the office.
- If you order a T-Shirt or Shorts, when the student comes to the office, we will assist the student in selecting the size that they are comfortable with.
- You MUST pay for all items before the student can pick them up from Ms. Beth. Ms. Beth will go into the system and check for payment before giving the student their items.
- If you ordered and paid for an item, and we don’t have the correct size, the amount paid will be applied to any outstanding school fees. If there are no current outstanding school fees, either a refund can be done in the form of a cheque, or it can stay on account for future fees applied.
