Register now for high school reunion — before it's cancelled

Calling all Vikings!

Unless more interested participants register for the upcoming Michipicoten High School reunion scheduled in Wawa for July 5, 6 and 7, the event is at risk of cancellation.

Organizers of the 70th reunion have issued an urgent plea to those who previously expressed an interest in the event to register before the May 15 deadline.

"Many have professed their intention to register, and now is the time," says a news release. "It has been reported by the organizing committee that 500 are needed and today 268 have registered."

The event is open to everyone, school alumni or not, and includes a number of activities such as scavenger hunts, trivia competitions, photo exhibits, and more.

"Previous reunions have been a resounding success, and always have welcomed and included those who are not alumni," the release says. "Let’s all honour the present and past students and teachers of this vital northern Ontario high school."

Registration forms are available at various locations throughout Wawa, or online.
