While Graduate Brother Dan Mangan performed on stage, Brothers were there representing FIJI. The Ultimate Ultimate Tournament On march 15th we held our first annual ultimate Frisbee tournament. The event was more successful than we ever initially imagined thanks to the efforts of Brother Tim Burke and his team. Sixteen teams took part in this day event helping to raise over $4,500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. \r\nBC FIJI - September 2015     THANK YOU Graduates!
