Sports Return at Barrie North Collegiate

 
 Well its been an interesting winter sports season here at Barrie North.  The provincial political situation was such that sports did not run through the winter.  I have certainly fielded my share of emails from parents and staff about when things would change and in what shape or form they would return.

With the news from OSSTF last Friday, extra curricular activities have been removed from the line of fire.  At Barrie North we have several staff members who have decided to begin coaching again.  There is a fantastic article in the news this week about the return to play.  Coach Burk Erwin and several student athletes speak to the issue of sports in schools.

Teams with coaches will be announced shortly.  We hope to have a successful spring season with as many athletes as possible playing school sport.
