Carnaval de Westgate
On Thursday, February 5 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm, all Westgate families are invited to attend the special outdoor celebration Carnaval de Westgate. This event is completely outdoors (except for limited access to washrooms). This Westgate Parents' Society sponsored event is free for everyone to attend. Students and teachers will be engaging in activities celebrating culture and all things winter throughout the week; to wrap up this fun filled week, Carnaval de Westgate will feature outdoor games, snow shoeing, hot chocolate, food trucks, a crepe station, festive music as well as ice skating on our community rink - all weather permitting of course! Alongside the hot chocolate, water bottles will be available.
Grab your mitts and toques and join us for an evening of fun and community building!!
These events would not be made possible without your help. We are looking for volunteer help to make this event successful. If you are able to volunteer your time or are able to donate items, please see the signup link: https://signup.com/go/bqxSdWT"
We will also be collecting bottles this year. Look for the Bowness Bottle Depot truck parked along 8 Avenue on the north side of the school between 4:30 - 6:30pm. Proceeds will fund various school initiatives such as in-house residencies like Cabane à sucre and Folkfolie.
