Well today is the day....BACK TO SCHOOL!
As I was dropping the kids off at daycare this morning you could see kids on just about every block on their bikes riding to school, some with parents in tow and some without! Couldn't help but feel the excitement in the air.
Wishing the teachers, staff and students a great year at Carnduff Education Complex!

New Playground for the Daycare
The children at the Carnduff Community Daycare have a new outside toy! The daycare Parental Advisory Committee (PAC) holds fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for items for the daycare and children. The large purchase made this year was this play structure for the playground. The children seem to be enjoying it and are anxious to get outside and play! Other plans for the play area include a garden for the children to plant vegetables as well as some flower gardens, creating a very green play area! If you are out and about feel free to stop by and take a look!
Thank you to the community for their continued support of the daycare!

Our office was recently requested by a former Carnduff resident to share some information on a specific topic that they will be involved in. They are looking for input from all Saskatchewan residents so feel free to share! Here is the information provided to us:
On September 22, 2010 the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) and the University of Saskatchewan Research Chair in Substance Abuse will co-host CCSA's inaugural Bill Deeks Lecture, titled, How much is too much? A Conversation for change: Young Adults and Alcohol. The event will be held at the University of Saskatchewan, free of charge to the public and will be webcast nationally.
