Valley Gardens 50th Anniversary
Valley Gardens Middle School celebrates 50 years in the community for the 2025-2026 school year and will be hosting an open house event this evening in conjunction with VGCC.
Valley Gardens Community Centre will also set up a display of memorabilia to celebrate our shared history in the community. Plans are still developing for both this event and a community celebration at VGCC in 2026 (as our building formally opened a few months after the school, at the start of 1976).
We welcome any content that you may wish to share in celebration.
For VG Community Centre content, please contact VGCC@Shaw.ca.
For VG school historical content, please contact the school vgms@retsd.mb.ca
