Aysegul Candir
On December 10, 2004, a gunman shot 47-year-old grade 10 teacher Aysegul Candir in the head multiple times in a Bramalea Secondary School parking lot. Mrs. Candir was pronounced dead in hospital later in the day. Peel Regional Police would later apprehend Candir's 62 year old husband, Erhun, and charge him with murder. The incident was considered as a domestic dispute, and even though the school was locked down for most of the day, students were never in harms way. Mrs. Candir is remembered as a "wonderful" teacher.
Yearbook
- The 2008-09 school year marked a significant change for Bramalea's yearbook program.
- A new website BSS Yearbook was launched. The main feature of the website is an online photo gallery for the other 99% of photos that don't make it into the book.
- For the past few years, yearbooks had been delivered in the fall. This year, books are scheduled for June delivery.
