Visiting the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association Hanger

     Today, FJB had the pleasure of visiting the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association Hanger.  Students were able to learn more about the role Canada and Canadians have played in conflicts around the world.
Retired members of the military shared their experiences and their knowledge with us.  
We learned more about the importance of "In Flanders Fields".  Canada's role in World War II was stressed.  The role of the Salvation Army was shared,  and best of all, the planes.

We would like to thank the organizers and volunteers who ran today's event for all their hard work.  It was a wonderful opportunity to get out of the classroom and see Canada's history in action.

Student Vote

 The students of Brennan participated in "Student Vote Canada" this week. This is a government initiative that gives students a chance to understand what it means to have a voice in a federal election. Over 800,000 high school students across canada were able to do a mock election. These results were sent in and nation wide totals were calculated. Brennan had 150 students who chose to participate. We also had a Liberal victory.
