Another summer is gone, with most Richmond public school students returning to class on Sept. 6.
The summer brought with it the return of favourite community activities like the Steveston Salmon Festival and Richmond Maritime Festival.
Temperatures were warm, although not as warm as 2021’s heat dome which saw temperatures as high as 32.4 degrees registered at Vancouver International Airport. At the airport’s weather station this year, June temperatures peaked at 26.2 degrees Celsius, July temperatures at 30.4 degrees Celsius, and August temperatures at 26.9 degrees Celsius.
This fall will see some change behind the scenes, as seven school board trustees will be elected on Oct. 15 in the Richmond local government and school election.
The school district is holding a trustee candidate information session on Aug. 31 at 6:30 p.m. Those interested in attending should RSVP to Joyce Coronel at jcoronel@sd38.bc.ca
