COVID-19 Vaccination for Children Age 5 and Older
Dear St. Paul Families, As I’m sure you are aware, COVID-19 vaccination is now authorized by Health Canada for children age 5 and older. Having school-aged children vaccinated protects them, and everyone around them, and will allow schools to return to normal functioning.

COVID-19 Information Update
We are beginning the month of November, and with society slowly beginning to open, life is starting to feel more “normal” a little bit at a time.

Summer Blessings

Orange Shirt Day soon to be a statutory holiday.

The colour stems from the story of Phyllis Jack Webstad who entered St. Joseph’s Mission […]
