After a cloudy morning, the sun made an appearance to kick start our annual Terry Fox Run. With the sun shining, a grade 11 student from Renfrew House led the School in a beautiful rendition of "O Canada." Students and staff wore red and white to honour Canadian hero, Terry Fox. A Copeman's Grade 12 student was selected to wear the traditional Terry Fox Run T-Shirt and lead the run. The Terry Fox Run T-Shirt is passed from runner to runner until it has crossed the finish line. Adding a new element to the run, Grade 11 volunteers sprayed runners with refreshing bursts of water as they crossed the finish line.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
