It has been a while since the last post and a lot has been happening since then.  Back in late 2012 conversations and discussions were being had among ex-SJSS and ex-Marist Vancouverites about the possiblity of having a reunion in Vancouver.  In early 2013 an organizing committee comprised of Ruth (Chung) Yee, Lydia Ng, Patrick Low, Ngaire Fong, Ramesh Narayan, Fay Maharaj, and Caroline Harker was formed and led the charge to get the ball rolling. This turned into plans for organizing one for September, 2014 and because of the early announcement of dates and event schedules many alumni were able to make plans and register for this special reunion.  In addition to the reunion week of activities many have registered for the Alaska Cruise and some have added Las Vegas and Banff trips to their itinerary to make for a very interesting vacation. We have had an excellent response and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone at the end of August!
