**Gerryball Tournament Saturday 2 pm in the Lower Gym

There will be a basketball scrimmage using the Gerryball format, 5 on 5, the first team that scores a certain number of baskets, stays on and a new team of 5 challenges them. Repeat. This is a game developed by our fabulous lifeguard, Gerry McGraw, in his 40 years of providing a format for ex-Humbersiders and friends to continue to play after graduation on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Some of those ex-Humbersiders will be playing and are invited to show up.

***School Parking

Parking at the school is best on High Park Avenue, The Annette Recreation Centre off of the school, residential streets around Western Tech are generally less occupied. Parking at Western Tech underground parking is also available. Highly recommended is the TTC, with stops at Jane Station talking the DUPONT 26 and getting off at Clendenan Ave. Another option is the Lambton 30 bus from High Park Station which stops at Humberside Ave across from the school.You may park at most TTC stations and enjoy a hassle-free ride to the event.
