Dear Parents of Grade 5,

Grade 5 is scheduled to have a guided tour of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Wednesday December 9, 2015. This is in support of curricular goals in Social Studies.  We need at least five parents to accompany on the trip.  Here is a summary of the exhibit:

Embracing Canada

This exhibition marks the most comprehensive look at Canadian landscape painting made between 1840 and 1940 ever mounted by the Vancouver Art Gallery. It will provide a rare glimpse at some of Canada's most important painters ranging from Cornelius Kreighoff, documenting the winters of 19th century Quebec, to the Group of Seven and Emily Carr, exploring their new perspectives on Canada through direct contact with nature.
