Britannia Secondary receives funding to replace their auditorium screen that was old and not functioning properly after 30 years. The auditorium is key in being able to accommodate students while Covid protocols regarding safe spacing is in place. It is used daily. Once the spacing restrictions are lifted the screen will be used by not only Britannia Secondary but also Britannia Elementary and various community groups. Rotary is proud to have been able to help with the project.

 

On Friday, June 11, 2021, Phil Webber of the Rotary Club of Vancouver delivered 84 of the Dictionary & Gazetteer Canadian Edition books to Tim Krug, Principal of John Norquay Elementary School ("Norquay") so that each grade 3 student at Norquay would receive his or her own Dictionary.   

In addition,  Phil delivered three boxes of books to Britannia Community Elementary School, containing 37 titles and 131 books in total, which are all focused on fostering literacy or knowledge of the English language plus 36 of the Dictionary & Gazetteer Canadian Edition books to Britannia so that every one of the 30 grade 3 students will receive his or her own dictionary.
