Une femme remarquable soumission de la F. F.C.F.
Suzanne est membre active de la fédération depuis
1959. Elle est responsable
de la cuisine et siège sur différents comités. Elle a toujours à
coeur le bon fonctionnement de notre organisme.
Son dynamisme est reflété dans l’enthousiasme de chacune lors
des activités sous sa direction. Nous les membres croyons sincèrement que tous les gestes posés bénévolement depuis plus de 40 ans par cette femme remarquable contribuent à améliorer la qualité de vie de notre communauté. Suzanne mérite certainement d’être reconnue pour toutes ces années consacrées au bénévolat. Notre-Dame du Rossaire Parish is Celebrating 100 Years of Faith Notre-Dame du
Rosaire parish in Blezard Valley is one hundred years old! Celebrations
for their centennial year began with a New Year’s Eve dance in the
parish hall. One Sunday each month will also be dedicated to various
pioneer families and their descendents with a special mass. The first of
these events was held January 6 when the Houle, Coutu, Frappier and
Leduc families were represented. The mass was followed by coffee and
donut and a photo display, which was enjoyed by all. The VISION Paper
will be announcing which pioneer families will be honoured
on a monthly basis. The pioneer
families of Belisle, Langen, Berthelot and Lamothe will be honoured at
the 10 a.m. mass at Notre-Dame du Rosaire church in Blezard Valley on
Sunday, February 10. Mass will be followed by a reception. Other special
event will be held from June 13 to 16 with tournaments, teen dance,
games, penny sale, snacks, raffles etc.
Most events will take place at the Rhéal Belisle Cultural Centre
and the church grounds. All are welcome to come and meet old friends and help celebrate “One Hundred Years Of Faith” St.
Kevin’s School Will Most Likely Re-open Doors To Grade Nine Students
In September The
yard is empty and the hallways are quiet this year at St. Kevin’s
School on River Road in Val Caron, but come this September, it will most
likely be home to dozens of Grade 9 students who will become the
historic first classes of the Valley East English Catholic Secondary
School. The
Sudbury Catholic District School Board held an information night at St.
Anne School on January 17, but many of the more than 200 in attendance
left with more questions than answers. Negotiations with the Rainbow
Board for sharing space at Confederation Secondary School do not seem
likely to succeed, so the most likely scenario will see St. Anne School
in Farmdale converted to a secondary school with opening scheduled for
September 2003. The existing JK to Grade 8 students will be transferred
to an expected-to-become vacant school in the community. Many parents
are concerned that the “phantom school” has yet to be identified.
All indications are that a school owned by one of the Francophone school
boards will soon be declared surplus and will be purchased by the
Sudbury Catholic District School Board. The
public presentation demonstrated that the renovations at St. Anne will
result in a very attractive, well-equipped facility by September 2003.
Cost of renovations do not seem to be a major concern with the board as
trustees have made it clear that they will be offering a high school in
Valley East beginning in September. During the next several months, observers will be watching the enrolment figures as Grade 8 students register for the high school of their own. Will they select the St. Kevin’s building over Confederation? Or will the girls opt for Marymount Academy? Time will tell. |
