The Vancouver Minor Softball Association is a volunteer-run, non-profit sports league for softball players up to 19 years old with recreational and competitive divisions. Our league runs from April to June and and we have opened registration for the 2021  season. We have a ViaSport-approved COVID plan to maximize player safety. Our club objective is to provide young athletes with a fun, safe team sports activity to promote and develop their health, friendships, and teamwork.

The presentation will be hosted on YouTube and the link will be shared from the following page on the Trafalgar website:  https://trafalgarpac.ca/shimi

We would like the presentation with Dr. Shimi Kang to be as interactive as possible but there will be limited time for questions so we are asking all of the respective schools to submit questions by the end of this week and then we will pool them together to rank the most popular ones and have them ready to ask on the night of the presentation. Shimi really likes getting questions from staff & students, as well as parents, so try to source information from as many different demographics as you can! You can either email your question(s) to karendaviesrallison@gmail.com or use the following link:  https://app.sli.do/event/ilgyi6xv/live/polls. The deadline for questions is Friday March 5th.

The survey deadline is March 31.

Division 8 students are hosting a Sock Drive! The mission is to collect at least 100 pairs of new socks to donate to the Street Feet Society so they can distribute them to people in need.

"Street Feet" is a term used to describe the effect of living outside in an often damp climate that causes feet to become infected, and can lead to many other health issues. Street feet is a very common phenomenon for people affected by homelessness on the west coast. The population living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is continually impacted by this health issue, and a simple solution to the problem would be providing access to clean, dry socks.

The class has left boxes for socks in each classroom commons. The boxes will be there until Friday March 12. The socks you donate don't have to be fancy, they just need to be new. You can grab a pair at the supermarket or local drug store if you're not out clothes shopping at the moment.

A big thank you in advance.

Division 8
