On Remembrance Day, the Sea to Sky School District honours the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans, including Indigenous veterans and all those who continue to serve. In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, students across our schools participated in ceremonies, created artwork, and learned about Canada’s history of service. These activities encourage reflection on the courage, resilience, and dedication of those who defended our freedoms, reminding us of the importance of peace, unity, and respect.
