• Families Welcome!

  This year we are excited to offer an afternoon Kids Camp (3:00-5:00pm) and Kids Dinner & Movie (6:00-8:30pm) on Saturday. Our Shawnigan students will be coordinating these events and they have several fun activities planned including a variety of sports, arts and games. The sign-up for kids activities is included on the registration form. This is a complimentary service available for children aged 6 and up. We encourage you to bring your families along to your Reunion!

• Transportation

  Because alumni will be staying in Victoria and Cowichan, we strongly recommend that all guests utilize the complimentary bus transportation to and from the School on Saturday. The Malahat is one of the most treacherous highways in Western Canada, and is subject to heavy rain and dense fog. British Columbia has some of the strictest anti-drinking and driving laws in the country. Our goal is for all of our guests to have the safest and most enjoyable experience possible!
  
  Please indicate in the registration form that you are interested in transportation.
  
  The deadline to register for transportation is October 6th.

• Additional Info

  The cost for the dinner this year is $25 per person, which includes dinner and two drink tickets (additional drinks are $5 each).
  
  Dress for Saturday is "smart casual" (i.e. no jeans please). Please bring weather-appropriate clothing as you will spend the entire day on campus and there is always the chance of rain. Please encourage your spouse  and family to join us as well!
