Today is your day Boomer! The COVID 4th wave, that everyone hoped wouldn't happen, is seemingly here. Cases are way up across Canada and the world, and there is a new target. It is the unvaccinated. Over 90% of all cases in our country are those without the jab and only .5% of cases have had both shots. So, why wouldn't you get the vaccine?! It just makes sense.....common sense for all of us to help protect each other. Check out the picture and think long and hard about what we just experienced for 1 and 1/2 years. Winter is not far away and that's when the virus is passed around so much easier, and it is a new variant that is causing trouble....the so-called Delta Variant and scientists say there could be others lurking just around the corner unless we do something about it. Something, collectively. So, Boomers....please take the jab and help persuade others around you to do the same. And let's get back to our "normal" lives ASAP. Cheers.
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
