Hello Alumni and Staff Members!
The JT50 Reunion Committee has partnered with EventIQ to provide you with flexibility in organizing your reunion experience. You can buy tickets for the Friday Social and Saturday Dinner & Dance, purchase JT50 memorabilia and register for the numerous free events and activities. The site allows you to make multiple visits to purchase tickets or confirm attendance at any of the events.
The main event of the weekend is the Saturday Night Fever dinner and dance to be held at the RBC Convention Centre on Saturday, May 17th commencing at 6:00 PM. Bring your dancing shoes and prepare to stay up late! A few important points when buying your tickets:
Select your table
When you purchase tickets for this event you can select the table that you will sit at. If others are at the table you will be able to see their names. Once you have booked a table, you can let your friends know your table number and they can join you - provided that seats are available - as availability is first come, first serve.
Purchase tickets and confirm names later
You can purchase extra tickets (even whole tables) and let us know who will be joining you later. Simply enter "TBD" as the first and last names to complete the purchase of the extra tickets and email Arlene Billeck at babilleck@shaw.ca once you know who will be sitting there. This is a great way to make sure that you are seated with friends and family.
Change Names
Provided you purchased the tickets, you can change the names of your dinner guest by emailing Arlene Billeck at babilleck@shaw.ca with the changes.
Tables are beginning to book quickly and we expect that table choices will start to become limited.

School Spirit
Back in the late 70's the student council had come up with Home Room of the Year to help build school spirit. Homerooms would vie for the honour by decorating their rooms on special occasions and doing things that related to their group. One year my homeroom was the senior band comprised of about 80 students. (Obviously, attendance reporting was one of the challenges.) The SC decided homerooms should try and come up with a slogan that would be emblematic of their group. I cajoled the band for several weeks to come up with some ideas. Although we had many talented students in that group we had difficultly coming up with a good idea. Some of the ideas that did surface were not really appropriate. One of the more popular TV shows of the time was 'Three's Company'. We finally decided on 'Three's Company.....but 80's an Orgy!'. Surprisingly, our class was named Home Room of the Year!
