West Kildonan Collegiate3,997 people gave blood on April 22, 2009 at WKCI was one of them and one of the many whogave blood for the first time. The experiencewas somewhat nerve racking and at the same time, rewardingknowing that you will be helping someone inneed. The process of giving blood is a careful process ofcompleting forms, testing your blood, and waiting for thatmoment where your blood is taken. The personnel arewarm and kind understanding the concerns of first timedonors. Now that the experience is over, I know I willgive blood again. The fear of the unknown is no longerthere and the joy of giving is even greater.The opportunity to give blood will continue in the SevenOaks School Division. We will continue to encourage firstdonors to give and we will continue to remember theneeds of others.ARTS IN THE PARK 2009All age groups from Elementaryschool, Middle school and HighschoolMusic, Dance, Art,Drama7:00—9:00 pm Wednesday, May 27th10:00—3:00 pm Thursday, May 28th5:30—9:00 pm Thursday, May 28th10:00—3:00 pm Friday, May 29thSportsGamesFun with videoand fun outside while learningAPTN Launches 2009 National Aboriginal Day Live Flag ContestMarch 24, 2009 - Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) is pleased to launch its third annual NationalAboriginal Day Live Flag contest.
