Dear TJA/CAA Alumni Family & Friends,

We are looking forward to welcoming you back to campus for our 71st Alumni Homecoming Sabbath tomorrow.

Please note that Advent Health has made their parking lot available to our attendees at no cost tomorrow. Since the school and Willowdale Church shares the parking lot on campus, we request that you kindly park in the designated spots (indicated in yellow highlight) on the map attached. Please do not park in areas outside of the yellow highlighted areas as those spots are required for patients coming in for hospital appointments. Parking along the side roads towards Valleyview and Forest View residences are also for their visitors and staff. Kindly do not use those spots.

The schedule for the weekend is: https://www.caasda.com/index.php/alumni/upcoming-events

Wishing you a blessed Homecoming experience as we celebrate God's Goodness together this weekend! Happy Sabbath!

Alumni Family and the Honoured Classes of 2024! We are looking forward to seeing you at our 71st Annual Alumni Homecoming Sabbath: Past, Present & Future - Transforming Lives for Eternity on May 25, 2024!

Our keynote speaker is Pastor Paul Llewellyn (Honoured Class of 1984 / Past CAA Faculty) and the current President, Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada.

Tag your fellow Honoured alum, help us rally your class and see you soon!

“You make a difference in my life.”

The commitment and effort of people in the church should be always recognized. Either volunteers or workers, the principle of Jesus of being thankful should be closely followed.

In the "Heart to Heart" page of May, Paul Llewellyn describes that giving, sometimes means receiving as well.

CAA Family! Take a trip around the world with us tomorrow evening, May 14, 2024 at 6:30 pm for our Spring Concert 2024: A School of Many Cultures. We can't wait to enjoy an evening of beautiful music featuring our JK-12 students.
