Congratulations to all SVC athletes on a great season! Our annual banquet and AGM was on May 1st at St. Mikes Secondary School. We were treated to an inspirational presentation by our own Kylie Wasser who chronicled her own journey and the obstacles that she overcame to become a great volleyball player and coach.
