Don Bergen's legacy: bringing joy to generations of students

After over 35 years of dedicated service as the school's Liaison Worker, Don Bergen, a beloved figure at Garden Valley Colligate, has retired, leaving students and staff alike with a bittersweet mixture of gratitude and sadness. 

"I call it aging out, that time does come, and it's just time. So what we have left is a bunch of memories. So much good has happened over the last few years, and it's a forever treasure. I'll always remember my years at GVC as a treasure," said Bergen.
