At Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy, a school belonging to the family of Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools, the community commemorates Remembrance Day with a liturgy to honour fallen soliders, those who have served, and those presently serving.
Historically, a guest speaker is invited each year to share their experience of serving our country from their specialized branch (Navy, Military, Air Force) to an audience consisting of staff, students and local community members.
A Grade 5 class had the unique opportunity to FaceTime with George Hope, a veteran of the Second World War and lifetime member at Redcliff Legion Branch No. 6. Using the gift of technology, students had the chance to pose questions and listen to Mr. Hope recall memories from his experience overseas.
