Important Community Announcement! Please read.

Dear Spring Festival Spectacular’s Audiences, I would like to share some information that has just been brought to our attention. Chinese government has just released that the number of deaths and infected patients from novel coronavirus is still increasing. Although health officials say the risk to B.C. residents remains low, as the organizer of this Chinese community event, we can’t simply avoid the great concerns coming from the children, parents, families and other commu...nity members, and the potential risk that we might unintentionally put the performers, audience, the theater crew and the audience in. Please understand this has been a very hard situation for us. We really don’t want to waste all the hard work that has been put in for the show. We are currently discussing a later date with the Oak Bay Dave Dunnet Theater. When we confirmed the later date, we will promote our show again. If you are still interested in it later, you are very welcomed to purchase the tickets again. We apologize for the short notice and thank you very much for your support and understanding

REMINDER: Kindergarten Registration and Kindergarten Transfer Process starts next week. For all the details on where and how to register, please visit: bit.ly/2Tpw6sg #sd61learn #yyj #Kindergarten
