• If you would like to represent JL Ilsley at the upcoming Armbrae Dialogue at King's College on November 8th and 9th, please speak to Ms. Curran in room 201 as soon as possible.  This is an opportunity to participate in small group discussions with students from communities all across the Halifax Regional Municipality, from both public and private schools.  Admission is free, and Ilsley has been allotted an extra 4 spots due to our excellent participation in this event in the past. If you are interested in student leadership, public speaking or public service, this may be the conference for you.
