Corn Roast

Corn Roast

Friday, September 26 we’ll be hosting the annual Corn Roast at Senior Campus, 5-8pm, spilling into Loyola Park. Join us for corn and games!

Get your game on: tug-of-war, sack races, and enough corn to make you question your life choices by cob #37. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic, blankets, and chairs to round out the feast. We’ll provide cold water (but no cups — so pack those trusty water bottles).

To pull this off without collapsing into the corn husks, we need volunteers! Sign up to help with setup, shucking, cooking, or take-down. Think of it as a gym workout, but with better snacks.

Home & School Membership (2025-2026)

Home & School Membership (2025-2026)

🤝 Why Membership Matters

Becoming a Home & School member isn’t just a checkbox — it’s what keeps us running! We need at least 30% of Willingdon families signed up to stay under the umbrella of the QHFSA (Quebec Federation of Home & School Associations).

That membership gives us the ability to operate and provides the insurance coverage we need to run all our beloved events — from pizza days to the corn roast to the grand finale. Without it? No coverage, no events. 🙅‍♀️

While all parents are welcome to attend Home & School meetings, only members get to vote — so your voice really counts when you join.

When you join, you’re not just a member… you’re basically the superhero making all this magic possible. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️
