TRURO – Carman Mason was astounded to be honoured Friday night in Truro.
To him, he is simply one of Colchester Adult Learning Association’s (CALA) students; the same as everyone else.
To his tutors, CALA, his peers, his employer and even the community, however, Mason was the ideal candidate for the Special Student Recognition Award.
Here are a collection of photos from the CALA Appreciation Night held on April 30, 2010. Thanks to all who attended!
CALA Supports action on Climate Change!
On March 27 at 8:30 p.m., hundreds of millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for an hour to demand action on climate change. But that’s just the beginning. Every hour, Canadians are taking small steps to lessen their impact on the environment. From hanging your clothes to dry to taking transit to work, those small steps add up to huge changes for the better.

Big Brothers Big Sisters has become an annual fundraiser the students of CALA have taken on. This being our third year, students from various classes get together and raise money for the community. There are many topics besides academics that take place at CALA; an essential skill best taught by doing , by giving back to the community. Congrats to Lynn Burns who initially took on this endeavor of fundraising for Big Brother/Big Sisters, and reaching our all time best last year by raising over $800.00.
Thanks to those who came out to join the fun, as well as raising money for the community.
