The Comox Valley Schools Grad Class Attire Program is moving to a new home located upstairs at the Comox Valley Dodge dealership.

The dealership is donating space on the upper floor of the new building on Island Highway North in Courtenay.

The long running Grad Class Attire program aims to give all students the opportunity to wear a lightly worn gown or suit on graduation day without the financial burden associated with purchasing a brand-new outfit or having one made for their milestone event.

Grade 12 students from all Comox Valley Schools can schedule an appointment
for choosing and fitting an outfit.

SD 71 staff will be volunteering their time to help set up the new location beginning next month with the new space open for fittings and donations beginning November 19.

Donations can continue to be dropped off at GP Vanier Secondary or during regular business hours at Comox Valley Dodge.

Organizers note there is a huge demand for smaller sized suits, pants, shirts, and accessories. Financial donations are also being accepted to help offset costs to repair, or purchase required items students may need.
