Registration Day
This past Sunday was registration, and all our students arrived safely. On Monday, the students went to AECL-Chalk River for their orientation, training and placement. It was a busy and exciting day! In the evening, everyone relaxed at camp, and enjoyed a fantastic bonfire.
Two new pages have been added to the DRSA site. There is now a calendar of events with a listing of all the DRSA events this summer. Some have links – just click on the event description and a new page will appear. This is a great way to keep track of the DRSA students and DRSA events this summer.
The other page is called “Getting to know you“, located under the Calendar of Events. Every week new photos will be added of the DRSA students and their activities. This week’s posting has photos from registration on Sunday.
Don’t forget: the DRSA is presenting a lecture by Bob McDonald on Monday, July 5 at 7:00 p.m. at Mackenzie High School. Arrive early, as seating is limited.
In the meantime check out: The science behind the slide from CBC’s Wonderstruck, hosted by Bob McDonald. This clip is from May 24, 1989. Enjoy!
