Upcoming Community Events

Over the past year we have worked closely with other school councils from both School Boards through the Barrhaven Consolidated School Council (BCSC).    This collaboration has brought our community together and we have begun sharing and supporting each other.   From time to time we will bring to you notices and invitations from our community of schools.  We hope that you will join us in supporting our community and take advantage of invitations for learning and fun.
