Retirement Mass

The CISVA (Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese) had a special retirement Mass followed by a reception. The Mass was held at Holy Cross Parish in Burnaby. This year, there are 14 people retiring from the system

3 of which are from Notre Dame.

After 43 years of teaching, Casey will be retiring at end of the current school year. Being invited to dinner at a former colleague’s house (who is already retired), Audrey felt this was an appropriate opportunity to give Casey his retirement gift from Allison.

Regina Hike

Jessica, Nathaniel and Casey went on a hike along the Sunbeam Creek Nature Trail which used to be maintained by the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The trail passes through three habitats. First a walk through the forest area with snow along parts of the trail.

 The second part of the trail is along the edge of the creek. There were many signs of animals living in the area - most noticeable was that of beavers.

The third type of habitat was the untouched prairie.
