Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School is proud to celebrate the incredible success of "Carnival," an inspiring charity event hosted by our very own Relay for Life team. This vibrant afternoon of fun and fundraising brought our community together in support of an important cause — raising money for Relay for Life’s Canadian Cancer Society.

From exhilarating activities like jousting, a mechanical bull, and a challenging obstacle course, to an array of carnival games, the event was a hit with students and staff alike. Ms. Evangelista, our guest speaker, delivered a heartfelt message, sharing her personal connection to the cause and reminding us all why community support matters.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our generous sponsors who helped make this day possible: Markson Law, FreshCo., MLSE, McLeary Lift, Krispy Kreme, and the Morim Family, among others. Your contributions made a real difference. Special thanks also to Cool Soft Ice Cream, who once again delighted our students and supported the cause by donating 25% of sales — a sweet tradition we hope continues for years to come.

We are incredibly grateful to our Parent Council and the many family members who donated and lent their support. Your generosity and spirit were truly felt.

A quick thank you as well to the Father John Redmond Administration for supporting the event behind the scenes.

Behind this successful event stood a dedicated team of student leaders who worked tirelessly to organize, plan, and bring "Carnival" to life. The Relay for Life team demonstrated passion, leadership, and heart every step of the way.

A standing ovation goes to Mrs. Mulligan and Ms. Reilly, the devoted teachers who led the charge with unwavering commitment and enthusiasm. Their mentorship and guidance empowered students to make a meaningful impact beyond the classroom.

This event not only raised funds but also built memories, strengthened bonds, and reminded us all of the power of coming together for a common cause. Thank you to everyone who made "Carnival" a shining success!
