On Thursday, February 26, 2015, over 1800 French Immersion students, teachers and volunteers from North Vancouver schools converged on Landmark Cinemas Esplanade to watch three wonderful French films!
Thank you to all the students, teachers and volunteers from Argyle, Boundary, Braemar, Cleveland, Dorothy Lynas, Handsworth, Larson, Ross Road, Sherwood Park and Windsor schools for participating in this event, we hope you enjoyed the films!
