Feb 1983 40th Reunion Sept 2023:
A wild ‘n crazy group of gals (plus 2 husbands!) got together to celebrate 40 years of nursing in Burnaby this year. About 23 of 67 students showed up to reminisce and share life experiences. It was lovely to see everyone and acknowledge those that have passed on. We decided to reconnect every five years to make sure we do not lose touch with a wonderful group. Next one 2028!
Thank you,

Arriving at The Galiano Inn, the classmates enjoyed three days of memory sharing and lots of laughter. Dinner at The Hummingbird Pub was followed by the RCMP costumed escort and members in capes, caps, and scissors as Edythe arrived with The Torch. The self-appointed Health Clinic Nurses were presented with a Clinic Kit to ensure a safe night for all.
Gathering for breakfast the next day, the members completed quizzes, sang a revised Adjustment Song, opened Goody Bags, and heard Joan’s evaluation review complete with prizes. The Health Clinic was opened and several remedies were demonstrated before Ocean Potion was served to all.
Following Free Time to explore or relax, the group gathered near The Gazebo to hear and view Memories that some had never heard before.
Prior to dinner, a tribute to Charlotte Wynne was read and Moon River was sung. The Memorial Book was available for viewing. Following dinner, a new Alphabet for Seniors was presented and then The Squirelles Decades Tour channeling ABBA was revealed! The costumes and act were the highlight of the evening. Door prizes and special gifts were distributed.
