Olivia Espey will attend VIU in Nanaimo to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree, and Audrey Skarvig is enrolled in the Nursing, Baccalaureate of Science Program at Camosun College in Victoria.

This Easter season, we are reminded of themes that resonate deeply across time, tradition, and belief; renewal, reflection, and hope.

For many, Easter holds profound spiritual meaning.

For others, it is a time of gathering with family, of quiet reflection, or simply the welcome signs of spring and new beginnings.

We extend warm wishes to all who are observing Easter, and to all who are embracing this season of renewal in their own way.

May it be a time of peace, reflection, and renewed strength.
