Project Eclipse: June 22 Update

Well, another school year has come to an end, and with it, Car Club begins to shut down.

Looking back, this year's car club has seen over twenty members work passionately on Project Eclipse.

We have completed many parts of the rebuild and are looking forward to September, when we can tackle stage two of creating our BR Spirit Car! It will have a new interior with a host of audio/visual gadgetry, all designed by members of our club. In doing so, students of all grades will use the skills they have learned in various technology classes at BR to construct a creative and usable machine.

Since the start of Project Eclipse, we have invested over 600 hours collectively for the rebuild, and are ready to dedicate more time to the completion of the project next school year.



Many objectives have been reached in the rebuild. To see which components have been rebuilt and completed, check the link here.

Our Eclipse is now on it's way to First Professional Collision, one of our generous community partners, for a new coat of paint. We would like to also thank other members of the community who were able to donate their time/ equipment towards this important student success initiative at our school:

  • Halton Automotive Parts and Supplies
  • Crave Systems Computer Sales and Service
  • Future Shop Home Theatre Department


The Transportation Technology program at Bishop Reding has seen many of its graduates find rewarding career opportunities in the workplace. We will continue to educate and prepare students for the challenges and successes after high school, and support their goals in becoming meaningful, caring contributors to the community.

As Car Club wraps up another successful session, we wish staff, students, parents and friends a safe and enjoyable summer.

Mr. Da Silva
