building closure for Halloween Week

Posted on by dcms

It is that time of year once again. The McKee Heritage House will be closed starting Friday Oct. 21st through to Friday Oct. 28th inclusive for the Annual Fright Night featuring students from South Delta Secondary School and sponsored by Corporation of Delta. During this week our teaching schedule is reduced due to lack of available space. Most group classes were already not scheduled for this week including the jazz ensemble and African Drumming.

Please view the room schedule below:  LCC = Ladner Community Centre.  Some lessons are scheduled for the Kinsroom at the McKee House (the large room at the back of our normal location). This is NOT the same location as Kinsmen HOUSE, which is the building over next to the library. If your lesson is offsite in another location you will be contacted as to where that will be
