In response to the invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 Social Justice class committed itself to supporting relief efforts for Ukrainian families and displaced Ukrainians in B.C. Through weekly bake sales, this year's class was able to raise $1,200.
A special thanks to all the students who dedicated themselves whole-heartedly to this cause, and to Father Mykhailo Ozorovych for offering his personal insights, connections and perspective on the war and refugee crisis, and on how to best contribute. You can listen to Kelvin and Justin's interview with Father Ozorovych under the 'Our Podcast' tab.

When the 2020 Australian bushfires destroyed 80 percent of the Koalas habitat, the Social Justice class decided to fundraise for the "Koala Hospital."
Donations went toward the rescue and treatment of sick and injured koalas, as well as the release back to their home range, and preservation and expansion of their habitat.
