(780) 986-6859 Fax. (780) 986-8186 September 1st , 2016 RE; Grade 9 Field Trip Victoria Dear Mr. Robinson, Please accept the following proposal for a four day grade nine field trip May 18-21 of 2017 to Victoria, B.C. For the past ten years, Grade 9 students from Sacred Heart School have participated in a trip to Victoria, British Columbia. Building on the traditions of Sacred Heart, we are hoping to establish our own travel experiences. In addition to experiences of travel with friends and travelling on their own, I believe that the educational possibilities of such a trip to Victoria are endless.
