The alumni event on June 23, Farewell to Two VC Icons, was a hit! Close to 500 alumni, former and current teachers, family members, and friends attended and had a final walk around of the VC heritage buildings. Alumni and families also got a chance to say good-bye to retiring teacher and coach Mr. Ten Hon Choo for his 42 years of exemplary service at Vancouver College.
