About Lillian Berg Public School

Vermilion Bay is one of those unique graphic locations with beautiful Eagle Lake to her south and the Trans-Canada Highway bordering the community's northern section. Vermilion Bay blossoms into an important tourist area during the spring, summer and fall. Winter in Vermilion Bay is a fun time and a quieter mode of life for some of the area residents.


Lillian Berg provides archery, track and field, and golf programming as part of their regular physical education programs, and they promote wellness and self-regulation through Yoga. New to Lillian Berg School this year is the Hockey Initiation Program for all students in grades 1 to 3 and the Hockey Academy Program for students who choose to participate in grades 4 to 8. All students can participate in extracurricular sports and activities where they participate in local tournaments with other schools within our board. Unique to Lillian Berg School is the biannual trip to Churchill, Manitoba. Students enjoy learning about the local culture and history and taking in tundra and beluga whale-watching tours. Community is important at Lillian Berg School. We host a variety of community events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas community dinners, an evening Christmas concert, a community Veteran's Breakfast-Remembrance Day Ceremony at the cenotaph and a community talent show.

Technical Information

All schools in this district (Keewatin Patricia District School Board) have converted classrooms into a hybrid learning environment. As you will see in the picture, the camera is placed at the back ceiling of the classroom. This district uses this hybrid system and the SMART boards to connect to virtual sessions. This means that the microphones are not easily accessible, making it difficult to hear the students. Asking the teacher to relay students' comments is very helpful in this situation.
