Burlington Central 100th Anniversary Reunion Steering Committee

P.S.  Please help us get the word out by posting this on your social media channels and email lists.

All questions can be emailed to the general reunion mailbox: bchs100@hdsb.ca

Someone will get back to you within 1-2 days to help your resolve your problem or with an answer to your question.

The Registration Fee is compulsory and covers basic expenses: event insurance, printing, posters, postage, name tags and materials, etc. It also includes a beautiful complimentary 68-page Reunion Memory Book which will capture the history and a sampling of the events and faces of 100 years at Central – a real keepsake to peruse at your leisure.  (note: guests registering at the reduced rate will not receive a memory book)

No!  We have already had a number of people that registered and then realized they wanted to add tickets to an event that they had not initially selected. To add tickets you need to reach out to us using the general reunion mailbox: bchs100@hdsb.ca.  We will respond with instructions and a link on how to add tickets without having to pay the $20 fee once again.

With several 1000 alumni returning to the downtown core you can expect parking to be an issue. We are encouraging all attendees to walk, bike, UBER, bus or take advantage of the many municipal lots and street parking in the area. This page (Parking Link) will identify all areas in the Burlington Core that offers municipal parking. Please note that ALL municipal by-laws will be enforced during the celebration and we don't want a parking ticket to spoil your fun! Please read and obey all posted signs. 

Note about on-site parking:  Please be aware that during the 4 day celebration the east and west lots of Burlington Central School will either be closed or have very limited parking.  Driveways will be blocked and Parking Marshalls will be in place to provide information and direction. Please be courteous to all volunteers as they work to manage the lots in a safe and efficient manner.

Accessible parking will be available in the east lot on a first-come-first-serve basis. There are also a limited number of parking permits that will be made available upon request, during registration package pick-up, for those with mobility issues. 

The table below indicates which school parking lots are closed and which have limited parking on a first-come-first serve basis.

Each registration package includes:

• 1 Anniversary Reunion Memory Book

• your name tag and lanyard

• name tag and lanyard for your spouse/guest (if applicable)

• any tickets that you have ordered

Schedule and locations for package pick-up:

Tuesday, May 30th 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Burlington Central – Auditorium Foyer

Wednesday, May 31st 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Burlington Central – Auditorium Foyer

Friday, June 2nd 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Lions Club Hall*

Saturday, June 3rd 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Burlington Central – Cafeteria

*The Lions Club Hall is conveniently located in the core of Burlington at 471 Pearl Street. This offsite location is being used for pick-up on Thursday, June 1st and Friday, June 2nd due to the busy traffic and limited parking situations on school days around Burlington Central and Central Public Schools. If you go to pick up your package at the Lions Hall prior to 5:00 p.m., you must park in the upper parking lot next to the soccer field.  After 5:00 p.m. both parking lots may be used.

Yes, but with close to 3000 people registered it is next to impossible as a registration committee to keep track of these pick up requests. 

Instead we are asking that an email or text or note be sent to the 'designated' person you have given permission to pick up the registration package on your behalf.  That person will be asked to produce that text/email/note at the registration table and, once confirmed, your registration package will be handed to them.

Each week we will be updating a .pdf document (Who is Coming?) on the website that will include a list of all alumni registrants that have agreed to let their name and last year at Central be shared. We hope this will help build excitement and anticipation for an amazing celebration.

No.  One person recently reached out and said that, although they actually graduated in 1980, most of their circle of friends graduated in 1979 and would be attending the 60/70's event and that they would prefer to join them. Alumni are free to pick the decade event that makes the most sense for them. 

note: purchasing a ticket to one decade event does NOT allow admission to another event.

Every decade event will be slightly different in its offering, but your ticket price at each event does include food and entertainment.
