John Oliver and Sir Winston Churchill Secondary Schools, Vancouver, BCArchive for Career Centre News
Dear Readers:
Unfortunately, due to cutbacks, the Career Centres in all of our 18 secondary schools and two adult education centres have been closed down. It has been a great pleasure providing information for everyone and I hope that it has been useful. This site will remain available for now, although there will be no new or updated information. Some of you might find the resources in the third column useful.
Regards,
V. Thomas
