Something's happening at Britannia! Come and explore community, learning and recreation with Britannia's unique model and approach. Get active and stimulate your passions; share the history of our successes.

Please join us to celebrate learning in ACTION, as students complete their first term we would like to share in their accomplishments, the excellent work of our teachers, the community that supports them and previous generations of learners and leaders at Britannia.

This is a unique facility, a village built around learning, community, health, recreation and social engagement.

The day will feature free food throughout the day produced on site by our youth and senior programs, free events and activities such as skating, swimming, aerobics by our Park Board recreation team and youth health and wellness by Red Foxx.

Performances by VPL storyteller in residence Columpa C. Bobb, Carnival Band, Drive Street Band, Marimba students, Britannia Secondary Band and special appearances by the Vancouver Canucks mascot FIN and the Britannia Bruin and much more!

The opening ceremonies will begin at 12:00 noon we will unveil plans for the Britannia Carving Pavilion and announce the reopening of Astorino's as a Community Centre and Active Transportation Resource Centre (Kickstand)!

This is one of few opportunities to visit the Britannia Elementary School during class to observe our students and teachers and to learn about the individualized learning plans at both the Secondary and Elementary schools. Meet our amazing student body and teachers; hear about our programs and teaching strategies.

The day will continue well into the evening with the opening performance of a Modern Christmas Carole by the Secondary School students at 7:00 pm.  

An all ages presentation by Safe Amplification Site Society at Astorino's at 9:00 pm.
