WHERE: AVPS Parking Lot, 1349 Randall Ave.  (Please note that we will not have access to the school)

EVENT HOSTS: Alta Vista School Council – all proceeds will be donated to the AVPS Playground Revitalization Project for the replacement of the kindergarten play structure.

DETAILS:

Electronics Collection and Recycling – Bins will be located in the school parking lot for the collection and recycling of electronic waste.  This will be a great way to get rid of any electronics that you don’t sell at your garage sale!

Garage Sale – School Council will be selling donated items.  Community members can also rent a space in the garage sale to sell their own items.  Rental costs range from $5 – $15.  Contact us at altavistasc@gmail.com to rent your space.

Bottle Drive – Please drop off your bottles with us.

*Feel free to print out this poster for distribution.  Or, let us know if you would like us to print out some copies and get them to you for distribution.  You could go up and down your street putting it in your neighbours’ mailboxes, or post it up at your work or anywhere else you can think of.

If you are able to help us with distribution, and you had time to let us know where you distributed the poster, that would be greatly appreciated – so that we don’t duplicate our efforts.  Please email Lindsey at lindseybarr@yahoo.com and she will keep track of distribution.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

“Level the Ice” is a training and mentorship hockey program that allows boys, born in 2001-2002 and who are registered in boys’ minor hockey, to participate at an elite hockey training free of charge, as the costs are covered by Fulbright Canada. Training will take place in Kanata at the Sensplex from 6-12 July.

There are three eligibility criteria for a player to be nominated:

·    He needs to be registered in boys minor hockey in Ottawa or the surrounding area with a birth year of 2001 or 2002;

·    He possesses above average hockey ability; and

·    Faces an economic disadvantage that poses a challenge to their continued success in the game.

Players need to be nominated by a coach or minor hockey representative that is not a relative or family member, and who can attest that the player fulfills the above mentioned criteria.

Anti-bullying is often talked about in schools, but what can parents do? LOTS! While many children recognize bullying and have tools to deal with it, children who are bullied, witness bullying, or who engage in bullying need support from home. But how to give it?

Jer’s Vision is a community group that is a leader in anti-bullying and anti-discrimination programming. Recognized throughout the continent for their work with youth, schools and organizations, Jer’s Vision is a youth-led organization that has made eliminating homophobia, transphobia, discrimination, racism, and sexism its mission.
