National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation will be observed on Wednesday, September 30th. Please encourage your child to wear an orange shirt on Wednesday to show solidarity with the survivors of residential schools, and to acknowledge our individual need to learn more about our shared history and how each of us can work to support reconciliation.

Terry Fox Run 

St. Luke Catholic School is honoured and excited to support the 2026 Terry Fox School Run! We are proud of the amazing tradition at our school. Our goal for this year’s run is to raise funds for cancer research while starting the school year with a great event that celebrates our school spirit and our students.

Please join us on Tuesday, September 29th, 2026 at 1:10pm for our school yard run!!

Our plan for the event day is to run as a whole school in the backyard from 1:10 - 2:15 pm. Families, parents, grandparents are invited and welcome to join us. Grades 1, 2, 3 will walk around the Primary grass yard and Grades 4, 5, 6 (with Kinders) will walk around the Junior soccer yard. Please wait outside the gate until 1:10pm. You do not need to go to the office to sign in.

Let’s make this year’s Marathon of Hope a special event and keep Terry’s dream alive! Please help us to reach our goal! Who will you be running for?
