Char-Lan DHS

A key component of a school's sports program is its volunteer coaches, and Char-Lan DHS recently acknowledged those individuals who donated their time through the 2016-17 season to guide the various Crusaders teams.

The year's volunteers included Jim Fourney (basketball), Rory Blackadder (pole vaulting), Graham Midgley (soccer), David Rawnsley (soccer), Mike McDonell (hockey), Bill Roundpoint (lacrosse), Ryan Dewar (lacrosse), and Kathy Millar (archery).

The U18 Cornwall Colts will be competing at the provincial hockey championships, and two of the players are student-athletes at Char-Lan DHS.
