Saturday Night Fever - Dinner and Dance
RBC Convention Centre
Saturday May 17th @ 6 PM
Tickets are selling briskly for the main event of the reunion. Over the coming weeks we will be working with the RBC Convention Centre to finalize arrangements. We expect ticket sales will be closed at least one week before the event. Make sure to purchase your tickets and get seating of your choice. When you purchase your tickets you can join people you know (names of people booked at each table are displayed). Tables seat 10 - you can purchase a whole table and provide names later by emailing Arlene Billeck at babilleck@shaw.ca.

Four JT Alumni bands will be hitting the stage - Everyone but Larry, Matrix, The Proud Sons and Whole Lotta Angus will be keeping the place rocking.

The following is a story from the JT50 Story Hub. Go to www.jt50.ca/storyhub/ to read more or submit your own story about your JT days.
We are the champions!
I had a lot of great memories at John Taylor but the best moment for me was when the buzzer sounded at the end of the 1994 Varsity Girls Provincial AAAA Basketball Championship and the Pipers were victorious! Having the opportunity to compete in sport with your best friends (who remain that to this day) is a special thing. Being able to accomplish something together like winning a championship is even more so. I am sure that the members of all Piper championship teams would agree. I am also proud to say that many of the members of our team still get together with Coach Simpson every year to celebrate our accomplishment and relive many of our fond memories. And we will again this March, for the 20th time. Go Pipers!!
