Good morning,

With the accumulation of snow last night and road conditions as they are, schools will be closed today and busing will be cancelled (January 6, 2022). Stay safe everyone!

As we come back to schools next week, in light of the shift of our current pandemic conditions and the safety of our students and staff being our top priority, we would like to please remind any visitors to our school of the following:

We are trying to maintain a positive and inclusive environment for all. We are working to keep gatherings and face to face interactions to a minimum, (prioritizing virtual wherever possible). We are also trying to limit visitors as much as possible. If you must enter the school to drop something off for your child, please come directly to the office and we will ensure that the item is received. If you are picking up your child (due to illness or an appointment), please call the office (250-642-5881) when you arrive and we will send your child out to you.

Thank You

The staff and students at Journey wish all of our families and community members a safe and happy holidays! We look forward to our return on Tuesday, January 4^th.”

The following students won our local Royal Canadian Legion Remembrance Day Poster & Literary Contest. Their work will go on to the competition for the southern island. If they win there, they compete provincially and from there, if they win provincially, they could move onto the national competition!

Congratulations to Emily, Brynn and Marley!!

Good Day,

I hope this message finds you well.

We are currently experiencing significant shipping/delivery delays due to the flooding and travel restrictions across the province.

If you are waiting for proofs, you may want to view  and/or order their photos, they can view/order by  doing the following: Please have them log into www.mylifetouch.ca and use their child’s student number for access.

If you need to check on their order please have them call Customer Care at 1 888 676 1647 or use the chat feature on the mylifetouch.ca website.

We are hopeful that travel and delivery services will return to normal soon.

Also, I will be away from my phone and email the week of December 13-17, so replies (from myself, or other team members) may be a little slower than normal.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

Good Afternoon,

There has been an upward flux of the number of masks that need to be handed out to students lately. Please try to ensure that students arrive at school with a mask.

We cannot keep up with the demand at this point.

Thank You
