Keith will start handing out the awards no later than 11:20 am, so make sure you arrive by then. Generally the awards take 30-40 minutes to hand out. We ask students stay at least until the end of the ceremony, so we can get group pictures of each level: gold, silver, bronze, and honourable mention.
After the photos are taken (likely no later than 12:10 pm), students and parents can grab a slice of pizza and some other goodies, and chat with each other.
Parking may be tricky — with snow mountains filling up spaces at the Bartley Square Mall. Your best bet is to park on the edges of the Canadian Tire parking lot at Shoppers World, and walk over at the stoplight and crosswalk (the Zellers parking lot has a Christmas tree seller taking up a bunch of spaces). Second best would be to try the W. G. Davis school parking lot or the 10 & Steeles Mall lots. See the map for their locations.
