Every year, on the first Tuesday of the school year,101ers and guides alike come together to raise funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease affecting thousands of Canadians today. As 101 week goes virtual this year, instead of taking to the streets, 101ers are invited to take to the web for this year’s Shine Day and enjoy a virtual fun-filled day of activities and speakers!
  • We have plenty of events planned (you are encouraged to make a donation) and some awesome prizes to be won. Our goal is to raise $10,000 and as we approach our goal, our lovely volunteers will perform some ridiculous dares for your entertainment.
