Read what Duane NcNairn ( ER Hicks Principal) has to say about team building at Fairview.
"I want to thank the Fairview staff for allowing our staff to spend the day with them. It was the perfect opportunity for us to grow stronger as one. It has allowed us to know each other better but more importantly, it has shown all of us the power of teamwork. I recommend it to all. Thanks again Fairview staff!!"
