In the first week of November, we will be having our Remembrance Day Ceremony. As we prepare for the service, being held on November 8th, we are again inviting families to share photographs of family members who served or are serving in the Armed Forces. If you submitted your pictures last year, you do not have to resubmit them again this year.
Please submit your photographs with important information such as name, rank, division of armed forces, etc, to the emails listed below. More details regarding the service will be sent out next week.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Koleba at kkoleba@brsd.ab.ca or Mrs. Irvine at lirvine@brsd.ab.ca
Have a great weekend, everyone!
