Other Business - Camp

The school nurse Eileen Hannon, came in to talk about the importance of summer camp. She shed some light on the funding of the program. Originally, (over 20 years ago) the school council fully funded the summer camp and eventually went to the board to get staffing and facilities through public funding.

Further questions are going to be asked of the next camp principals to ensure the sunny view children's needs are being met and the appropriate children have access to the program.
