St. Catharines Collegiate - Morning Announcements

ANNOUNCEMENTS: October 16, 2026 - Friday

We begin this gathering by acknowledging the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.

Jeniah joined the Governor Simcoe flag football team at a jamboree yesterday and made significant contributions. She anchored the defence finishing the day with 6 interceptions - three of which were returned for TDs.

On offense she was just as dominant, running crisp routes and creating separation from defenders all day and finished the day with multiple offensive touchdowns.

Jeniah was the best player on the field in every game by a wide margin - congratulations to her amazing success - your collegiate football family is proud of you!
