Building Project update

Work on the much anticipated Learning Commons and Gathering Space increased in pace and urgency as the volunteer workers tried their best to meet a Christmas deadline for completion.

Margo, RJC Accountant and Peter, Project Manager, go over statements and accounts to make sure that all the bills are being paid on time.

Gail even took a day off from her normal duties in the Principal's office to lend a hand painting. Bruno, a key volunteer on this project is seen in the background working on the plumbing for a soon to be installed sink in the servery area of the Gathering Space.
Volunteers Louis and Eldon team up to install railings on the new stairs.
Students lent a hand and learned a thing or two about installing light fixtures as well. Luke and Jamieson follow the lead of Jamieson's dad and faithful volunteer John.
Gail took a moment during the Christmas Program at RJC to acknowledge the efforts of those volunteers in attendance who have worked on the Learning Commons and Gathering Space project. Those pictured below are only a part of a much larger volunteer effort.
Finishing touches and furnishings are all that is needed to complete the Student Commons project. While it would be too long a list to mention all volunteers who have helped make this possible, special mention does need to be made of several who have worked from beginning to end including Project Manager Peter S, Peter G., Bruno K., Armin K., Darren S. and John F. along with the dozens of others who contributed their time and skills in so many ways. Thank you!!
