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,

Following Free Time to explore or relax, the group gathered near The Gazebo to hear and view Memories that some had never heard before.

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.
