3:10 p.m. GISS Music Performance Dress Rehearsal at ArtSpring Theatre
I noticed an interesting reflection as this student played the piano.
The show takes place tonight. There are some stunning voices this semester, tons of energy and talent, lots of fun and a great many wow moments.

This Latin American student is attending school on Salt Spring this year. And will be one of many International Program students featured in a series of upcoming videos.
Have you seen the video we produced last year for International Education in the Gulf Islands School District? It promotes the program, the school, and Salt Spring and the Gulf Islands. It’s short, powerful and worth a look.
I was more impressed than ever with the students and staff at GISS. I’ve been in hundreds of schools in BC, but I have not encountered such a warm, polite, and focused group of young people. Congrats to parents, staff and to the students themselves.
8:00 a.m. Gulf Islands Secondary
The Senior Girls, winners of last years tournament, in early Saturday morning action against Maple Ridge Hornets.
The Howe tournament is held every January to commemorate the late Nairn Howe’s contribution to athletic excellence and fair play on and off the court.
Right on schedule, in early January the sun rises straight out Ganges Harbour—about 122 degrees Southeast. And does so at a very civilized time around 8 a.m. This makes for lots of gawking and traffic congestion (30 cars/hr instead of 10) on Upper Ganges Road.
