Our Next Century Updates

"This Chapel is a living sign that Vancouver College believes that it is Christ Jesus who is its true foundation and cornerstone. It is He who, by His power supports not only this Chapel but also the whole College." - Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of Vancouver

Today our community was blessed to witness the Consecration of the Altar and Solemn Dedication of the Blessed Edmund Rice Chapel at Vancouver College. Those who were unable to tune in live are invited to watch a recording of the event, saved on our YouTube Channel. 

"Today is a splendid day, a light-filled day, and bearing in mind yesterday's celebration of Thanksgiving, today is to be filled with gratitude for the very many graces the Good Lord had bestowed upon all those associated in so many different ways with this blessed Vancouver College." - Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of Vancouver

On Tuesday, October 13, 2020 our community was blessed to gather (mostly virtually) to celebrate the Blessing and Re-Dedication of Lannon Hall. Those who were unable to join us live are invited to re-watch the live stream of the event through our YouTube Channel.

On Monday, September 21, 2020 following all of our COVID19 safety protocols, we welcomed our Elementary Students to Lannon Hall for the first time! 

Our construction crews and teaching staff spent the last month of summer  working hard to prepare Lannon Hall for our Elementary School students. We can't wait to welcome them all back in September! 

Although summer vacation is underway for our students, our construction crews are still hard at work on the new Lannon Hall, getting it ready for the 2020-2021 school year! Our Elementary School teachers had the chance to walk through their new space    and are excited to welcome all our students back soon!

As construction on the new Lannon Hall continues, VC Student Council Member Isaiah and President John Nixon took a tour inside our newest building, set to open in time for the 2020-2021 school year!

Although our campus is closed for learning,  construction crew remain busy,  working (safely) to ensure our newest building will open for the September 2020 school year. 

On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, members of our Administration Team and Elementary School had the chance to take an inside look at how construction is progressing on Vancouver College's new Lannon Hall! 

Our newest building will include a Chapel, Brother's Residence, gymnasium, Elementary School classrooms, offices for staff, and more. 

Thank you to Kindergarten Teacher Mrs. Cathy Wolfman for putting together this video!

All week, our construction crews have been busy dismantling the structure that held up our Heritage Wall. The facade is now securely attached to our newest building, which is scheduled to open in time for the 2020-2021 school year!

As construction is set to begin on Vancouver College’s new Elementary School, the community gathered on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 for a blessing and groundbreaking ceremony. The blessing was bestowed by Vancouver College’s Chaplain, Father Juan Lucca, and was  attended by Elementary School students, Christian Brothers, and members of the Board, Administrative teams, and the Our Next Century Campaign cabinet.

As this next phase of our project begins, we pray for the safety of all those working on the construction site, as well as the completion of this project which will serve the boys of today and those in generations to come.

All that remains of Old VC (besides the front facade) is our old boiler room!  In the next few days, it will be removed as the team gets ready to break ground on our new Elementary School.
