  2. Thanks Jason for posting the deatils. I was wondering if it is on a first come first seated basis? Also how many people can the gym hold? I know plenty of people will be there to honor such a great individual.

  3. No trouble, Zach. There will be some reserved seating for family and special guests, and all others will be first come, first seated in the gym bleachers. The main gym will hold ~800, and the second gym can hold ~600, and we will simulcast the event there. PS-no ties! Mr. Bodin hated them. See you there.

  4. Hi Mr. Leslie, it's Pia! Thank you for keeping us updated in regards to Mr. Bodin and his recent passing. I was quite fortunate to have the chance to get to know him as our basketball sponsor/ vice- principal/ coach. I had the pleasure of meeting his wife and his daughter when she used to bring us mini donuts at our games! Unfortunately, I will be out of the country and will miss his service. I recently found a piece of writing I had written in Grade 12 which was a reflection of my positive experience at our school just before graduation. I will post it on here on my blog as soon as I get the chance- a piece of writing/ gratitude to you, Mr. Bodin and the other teachers who had such great impact in our lives. Thank you and God Bless.
