Ceremonies mark day of remembrance ANDREW TRIPP
Boundary Creek Times Reporter
Each year on Nov. 11, much of the world stops to remember those allied soldiers who died and continue to die fighting for their countries, and with each solemn ceremony there emerges a new generation of Canadians old enough to be able to comprehend the sadness and loss that conflicts inflict, and that their world would likely be a very different place had thousands of men and women not sacrificed their own lives in defence of future generations’ freedom. Boundary Central Secondary School was the focal point last Tuesday, when students from several West Boundary elementary schools joined their high school

Grade 6 and 7 students from the Greenwood and West Boundary elementary schools descended on the Rock Creek Cemetery recently for a fall clean up, comprised of weed trimming, lawn mowing, pruning and headstone sweeping. Eighteen volunteers left the cemetery looking neat and tidy for the winter, and the schools have pledged another day next spring for a similar effort. Participating students will receive a contribution towards the 6/7 field trips to Victoria and Vancouver next June, and are always on the look out for additional opportunities to help fund their excursions. Individuals or groups with suitable projects for the students are asked to contact Jennifer Macfarlane at 250-446-2846.
