*** Purdy’s Chocolates – For you or for the office

We are excited to once again be working with Purdy’s Chocolate for our holiday season. Not only will you complement the day, but 30% of your order will come back to Parent Council and support school activities. 

Corporate Gifts??  If you have an office party or corporate event, you can place a separate corporate order (in addition to your personal order or just on its own). It can be delivered to your home or work for a deliciously sweet party addition.   Please contact us if you need your order delivered before the  school pickup date which will be Nov 25 (note: this is for corporate orders only).

Purdy’s is a Canadian owned and operated here in Canada, using sustainable cocoa and time-honoured traditions and recipes passed down for over a century. 

Please contact School Council and we will assist you with your order. You can reach us at [email protected].

Personal orders can be placed starting Nov. 1 – stay tuned for the website details.
