The YHS Community came together at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts (UBC) for the annual Celebration of Community. This year, the festive concert featured songs through the decades in tribute to the school’s 80th anniversary.

There were many great moments throughout the concert, including a surprise flash mob from the senior girls. The grand finale featured a mass choir with 350 singers from Grades 3-12. Students worked with award-winning and internationally renowned composer, choir director, and performer, Brian Tate, to perform his song “We Are One“.
