Grade 1

Hello! My name is Pamela Canning and I am so excited to be teaching Grade 1/2 at WGH this year! I have been teaching for 13 years and most of that time has been in Kindergarten/Grade One. I really love teaching this age because everyday is a new adventure and you never know what is going to happen next. I am originally from Newfoundland and recently moved to Fort McMurray with my husband and nine-year-old son. I love spending time with my family and playing with my son. I also like to read, go to zumba and bake cookies...and eat them;) I am looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your child. It is going to be a fun-filled, exciting year. Welcome to Grade 1/2!

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
