Hello Lochside Community! We are gearing up for another exciting week of school. Even though you’re excited, please take the time to park in appropriate places within our neighbourhood. Stay off of people's lawns and pay attention to neighbourhood signage. It’s okay to take your time when it comes to safety and being considerate of others.


Coats for Kids

Each year, Victoria Coats For Kids helps children and teens in need stay warm by distributing new or gently worn winter coats, toques, scarves, and mitts. Hillside Centre has been a  long-time supporter of this worthwhile cause. In addition to being a ‘drop-off’ location for the winter clothing, we have launched a fun and easy colouring campaign to get students involved. Hillside will donate $1.00 (up to a max. of $1,000)  to the Victoria Coats for Kids Association for every colouring sheet (linked here) returned to Hillside Guest Services by March 31st.


Fun Lunch

An email was sent out to all parents who have Fun Lunch credits from last year. If you have Fun Lunch credit, please be sure to respond to lochsidefunlunch@gmail.com by February 5th. We need to know if you would like your money refunded or absorbed as a donation to LEPAC.
